WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE(Words: George Pope Morris - 1830 Dedicated to Chad (timbco475)Woodman, spare that tree!Touch not a single bough!In youth it sheltered me,And I'll protect it now.'Twas my forefather's handThat placed it near his cot:There, woodman, let it stand,Thy axe shall harm it not!That old familiar tree,Whose glory and renownAre spread o'er land and sea,And wouldst thou hew it down?Woodman, forbear thy stroke!Cut not its earth-bound ties;Oh, spare that aged oak,Now towering to the skies!When but an idle boyI sought its grateful shade;In all their gushing joyHere too my sisters played.My mother kissed me here;My father pressed my handForgive this foolish tear,But let that old oak stand!My heart-strings round thee cling,Close as thy bark, old friend!Here shall the wild-bird sing,And still thy branches bend.Old tree! the storm still brave!And, woodman, leave the spot:While I've a hand to save,Thy axe shall harm it not.

Cool,poemThat's a pretty big tree,We had Two Big trees Cut Down In front Of My house few days ago. The people left a big mess I Had To clean Up.

The trees have given us shelter from the rain, shade from the sun, fruits and beauty too, a place to rest or where lovers met and carved their names,looked up at the branches and dreamed... but man forgets all to quickly natures bounties

Yes, I was just thinking to myself: "Boy, last time we dedicate a poem to that creep!" ;-)

I enjoy a good razz. BSF, I really did appreciate how you took the time (on your channel) to educate people about what you do. There are a lot of people who feel trees should never be cut down (I know because I used to be one of them) and someone had to sit me down and give me the facts. I have always loved this poem though. :=)
timbco475 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
