TREES. Then said Jehovah unto men: *1 will set in the desert the green fir tree, The pine and the box together shall be, Where the fragrant boughs of the cedar swing Shall dwell all the fowl of every wing; “Thou shalt not destroy, when the nations fight, A tree good for food or pleasant to sight; For this is the law of your earthly span, The tree of the field is the life of man.” —By Irene Welsh Grissom in Outdoor America (Chicago). ,
