The Mazer (34 page)

“Sit still, Silva mine, for here is the tale of an island you know,

Where high from the hills the fresh waters flow,

And trees you could never imagine do grow

By greenhouses lit by the sun of the sky,

Whence long ago, from the Tree Star on high,

Came a leaf, floating down to the sea of our earth,

Lighting soft on the waves, the isle of our birth,

Land of life, wood, leaf, shoot,

Twig, branch, trunk, root!”
