Siegfried Sassoon - Wind In The BeechwoodSiegfried Sassoon - Wind In The Beechwood
Work rating: Low


The glorying forest shakes and swings with glancing  Of boughs that dip and strain; young, slanting sprays  Beckon and shift like lissom creatures dancing,  While the blown beechwood streams with drifting rays.    Rooted in steadfast calm, grey stems are seen   Like weather-beaten masts; the wood, unfurled,    Seems as a ship with crowding sails of green    That sweeps across the lonely billowing world.    O luminous and lovely! Let your flowers,  Your ageless-squadroned wings, your surge and gleam, Drown me in quivering brightness: let me fade    In the warm, rustling music of the hours    That guard your ancient wisdom, till my dream    Moves with the chant and whisper of the glade.
