GreenMountain

 The glade dozes. Ferns edge a pool of moss
 Fed by an ivy spring. Above, the woods
 Cascade like verdant waterfalls to splash
 Hillsides in flaming copper torrents. Cliffs
 Ascend, pine-clad, to loom and crest and break
 Into a mile-high tidal wave of life
 That at its crest erupts into a tree ---
 Kingly, triumphant, highest of them all,
 A final proudest acme --- over which
 The sky dozes.
