THI

ing pines and the hemlocks,

Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,

Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and

prophetic,

Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.

Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced

neighboring ocean

Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.

Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of

woman's devotion,

List to the mournful tradition still sung by the

pines of the forest;

List to a Tale of Love in Acadie, home of the

happy.
