Standing alone by the highway side	A
Stately and stalwart and tempest tried	A
Staunch of body and strong of bough	B
Fronting the sky with an honest brow	B
King of the forest and field is he	C
Yon way side watcher the old Elm tree	C
	-
When kindly Summer with smile serene	D
Drapes branch and bough in her robe of green	D
Ever the joyous wild birds come	E
And sing 'mid the clustering leaves at home	F
Ever the soft winds to and fro	G
Steal through the branches with music low	G
And golden sunbeams sparkle and play	H
And dance with shadows the livelong day	H
	-
Up to his forehead undimmed by time	I
The morning sun ray is first to climb	I
With the tender touch of its earliest beam	J
To break the spell of his dewy dream	J
And there the longest when daylight dies	K
The rosy lustre of sunset lies	K
As loath to fade on the distant sea	C
Without an adieu to the old Elm tree	C
	-
And grand it is when the wintry blast	L
With shout and clamor is sweeping past	L
To watch the stately and stern old tree	C
As he battles alone on the wintry lea	C
With leafy crown to the four winds cast	L
And stout arms bared to the ruffian blast	L
Or fiercely wrestles with wind and storm	M
Unbowed of forehead unbent of form	M
	-
O proud old tree O loneliest tree	C
Thy strong limbed brothers have passed from thee	C
One by one they've been swept away	H
And thou alone of the centuries grey	H
That have come and gone since thy hour of birth	N
And left their scars on the patient earth	N
Remainest to speak to the world and me	C
Of hoarded secrets that dwell with thee	C
	-
What of thy birth hour what of thy prime	I
Who trod the wastes in that olden time	I
Who gathered flowers where thy shadows lay	H
Who sought thy coolness at noon of day	H
What warrior chieftains what woodland maids	O
Looked up to thee from the dusky glades	O
Who warred and conquered who lived and died	A
In those far off years of the forest's pride	A
	-
No voice no answer So I too speak	P
Yet mine as the insect's call is weak	P
To break thy silence thou lonely tree	C
Or win a whispered reply from thee	C
Yet teacher mine thou hast taught my heart	Q
What soon from its records will not depart	Q
A lesson of patience a lesson of power	R
Of courage that fails not in danger's hour	R
Of calm endurance through winter's gloom	S
Of patient waiting for summer's bloom	S
And heavenward gazing through storm and night	T
Like thee to watch for the dawning light	T
