The Fir by the Forest

 

So grand she stands,

That fir by the forest -

Queen of the meadow

And all she surveys.

 

Birds of all feathers

Play in her boughs,

Dance on her branches,

And hide from summer rays.

 

Though regal, she is open,

Though stunning, not aloof,

Refined, but wearing 

The same dress each season.

 

Elegant and flowing,

Her gown covers all,

But cannot disguise

The sadness inside,

 

For she stands, though grand, alone.
