EO ——————— The Song of The Pines, Far up in the topmost branches, A few bright sunbeams play, While below, where I am lying The shadows are cool and gray. The pines’ incessant murmurings Are full of love and peace, And I feel a dreamy longing That they should never cease, The fragrant breath of the pine-trees Is borne on the winds so free, And I bless the dear All Father To think that it breathes for me, As I sigh for the city children W ho never know how sweet 1s the breath of God's pure country air, And the soft pine-needle seat, And snatches of lovely poems Go wandering through my mind, And I fancy that they must be to me Like music to the blind, I look up into the treetops That wave against the sky, And they seem to bend down tow ard me To {an me, where 1 lie.
