High up above the open welcoming door	A
It hangs a piece of wood with colours dim	B
Once long ago it was a waving tree	C
And knew the sun and shadow through the leaves	D
Of forest trees in a thick eastern wood	E
The winter snows had bent its branches down	F
The spring had swelled its buds with coming flowers	G
Summer had run like fire through its veins	H
While autumn pelted it with chestnut burrs	H
And strewed the leafy ground with acorn cups	H
Dark midnight storms had roared and crashed among	I
Its branches breaking here and there a limb	B
But every now and then broad sunlit days	H
Lovingly lingered caught among the leaves	H
Yes it had known all this and yet to us	H
It does not speak of mossy forest ways	H
Of whispering pine trees or the shimmering birch	J
But of quick winds and the salt stinging sea	H
An artist once with patient careful knife	K
Had fashioned it like to the untamed sea	H
Here waves uprear themselves their tops blown back	L
By the gay sunny wind which whips the blue	M
And breaks it into gleams and sparks of light	N
Among the flashing waves are two white birds	H
Which swoop and soar and scream for very joy	O
At the wild sport Now diving quickly in	P
Questing some glistening fish Now flying up	Q
Their dripping feathers shining in the sun	R
While the wet drops like little glints of light	N
Fall pattering backward to the parent sea	H
Gliding along the green and foam flecked hollows	H
Or skimming some white crest about to break	S
The spirits of the sky deigning to stoop	T
And play with ocean in a summer mood	U
Hanging above the high wide open door	A
It brings to us in quiet firelit room	V
The freedom of the earth's vast solitudes	H
Where heaping sunny waves tumble and roll	W
And seabirds scream in wanton happiness	H
