Book Description

Excerpt from The Scarlet Oak: And Other Poems Scarlet Oak. Just on the verge of winter storms and cold, Throwing warm brightness round the autumn day Which touches tenderly each graceful spray; In beauties marvelous and manifold - Inwrapped in flame like martyr saints of old, Yet all erect and fearless of decay - When other trees are quite bereft and gray - These Scarlet Oaks reign, monarchs of the wold! They had their flowering May; their polish'd leaves In summer time gave back with brightness new The sunbeam's glance. For them the autumn weaves About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
