The forest murmurs. See , this noble oak Has fallen 'neath the Master's stroke ; Lies wounded , dead ; the lonely branches sigh ; Ah , why should such a giant die ? The stalwart oak is dead ; ah , why the sigh , What though tbe branch , once towering high , Lies fallen low , do not ye know 'Tis thus another oak must grow ? The acorns fall , the seed thus sown By winds of heaven wildly blown Must sure take root ; ah , who can tell The product of the seed that fell ? The forest sighs for him they know , And miss their dear companion , too ; And sighing , smile through tears that blind ; 'Tis good to leave such fruits behind. Harry P. Van Arsdale. Omaha , May 1,1002.
