Ezra Pound - The Tree
Work rating: Medium

I stood still and was a tree amid the wood,
Knowing the truth of things unseen before;
Of Daphne and the laurel bow
And that god-feasting couple old
that grew elm-oak amid the wold.
`Twas not until the gods had been
Kindly entreated, and been brought within
Unto the hearth of their heart`s home
That they might do this wonder thing;
Nathless I have been a tree amid the wood
And many a new thing understood
That was rank folly to my head before.
