The Forest Cotillion

Title:     The Forest Cotillion
Author: Howard V. Sutherland [More Titles by Sutherland]

When the wind is joyous-hearted it stirs the graceful spruces,
And they nod at one another and toss their arms in abandon;
Then they sway their supple bodies in wonderful undulations,
Keeping a perfect time with the wind's mysterious music.

Then the watchmen of the forest, the solemn and silent birches,
Bend stiffly their stately heads, saluting their laughing sisters;
And the alders wake from slumber, and the willows grieve no longer
When the wild wind woos the stream and sets the trees a-dancing.

[The end]
Howard V. Sutherland's poem: Forest Cotillion
