Here sown by the Creators.hand.
In serried ranks, the Redwoods stand;
No other clime is honored so,
No other lands their glory know
The greatest of earth's living forms.
Tall conquerors that laugh at stormns:
Their challenge still unanswered rings.
Through fifty centuries of kings.
The nations that with them were young.
Rich empires, with their forts far-flung.
Lie buried now.
But these proud monarchs still live on.
So shall they live, when ends our day.
When our crude citadels decay:
For brief the years alllotted man,
But infinite perennials span.
their splendor gone;
This is their temple. vaulted high.
And here we pause with reverent eye.
With silent tongue and awe-struck soul:
For here we sense life's proper goal..
To be like these, straight.true and fine,
To make our world, like theirs, a shrine:
Sink down.Oh, traveller, on your knees
God stands before you in these trees.
