Much can they praise the trees so straight and high, The sailing Pine, the Cedar proud and tall, The vine-prop Elm, the Poplar never dry, The builder Oak, sole king of forests all, The Aspen good for staves, the Cypress funeral ; The...
Seite 24 - Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven ; shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ; therefore take no thought saying, What shall we eat ? or what shall we drink?
