Nature Leaves
Grace Bondurant
I saw the deciduous sleeping,
my generation destroyed,
how I mourned the vegetation.
I cannot help but stop and look at the
last deodar.
Never forget the latter and last deodar.
How sad is the little grasslands!
Never forget the teentsy and trivial
grasslands.
When I think of the boreal, I see a
dry world.
Never forget the muddled and woolly
boreal.
How gloomy is the damp wetland!
Down, down, down, into the deepness of
the wetland.
Gently it goes—the dull, the moist, the
mute.
I cannot help but stop and look at the
majestic forestland.
Down, down, down, into the darkness of
the forestland.
Gently it goes - the regal, the imperial,
the gallant.
And I looked at the last deodar.
Never forget the last deodar.
