Ashes of oak - Are thf re no more trees Whatif the Yule-log whu en and d — Blast* and redden and die- what then Are there no more trees ? Fallen from pride and grey with flre. Slain by it. n«ver to glow again— But life is more than ashes and night ; In it lies new fire. No trees left 1 Let the old year izo, And the old years go with their bloom and blight ; Sated with joy and drunk with pain ; Let the old yuar go. Boded at laat-and to come, mor« treeß, Lieaf and pleasure— ay and grief. Qvsr dead ashes light new fireAre there no more trees ? —Scribncr's Magazine.
