The fire advances along the log | B |
Of the tree we felled | C |
Which bloomed and bore striped apples by the peck | D |
Till its last hour of bearing knelled | C |
- | |
The fork that first my hand would reach | E |
And then my foot | C |
In climbings upward inch by inch lies now | F |
Sawn sapless darkening with soot | C |
- | |
Where the bark chars is where one year | G |
It was pruned and bled | C |
Then overgrew the wound But now at last | C |
Its growings all have stagnated | C |
- | |
My fellow climber rises dim | H |
From her chilly grave | I |
Just as she was her foot near mine on the bending limb | H |
Laughing her young brown hand awave | I |
