Frederic Herbert Trench Poems
O dreamy, gloomy, friendly Trees,
I came along your narrow track
To bring my gifts unto your knees
And gifts did you give back;
...
She comes not when Noon is on the roses-
Too bright is Day.
She comes not to the Soul till it reposes
From work and play.
...
Since I have given thee all my very heart,
Since I have staked so deep and dangerously
All that I have of hope till breath depart
...
If thou hast squander'd years to grave a gem
Commission'd by thy absent Lord, and while
'Tis incomplete,
...
Fear? Yes_ . . . I heard you saying
In an Oxford common-room
Where the hearth-light's kindly raying
Stript the empanelled walls of gloom,
...

The Best Poem Of Frederic Herbert Trench
O Dreamy, Gloomy, Friendly Trees!
O dreamy, gloomy, friendly Trees,
I came along your narrow track
To bring my gifts unto your knees
And gifts did you give back;
For when I brought this heart that burns--
These thoughts that bitterly repine--
And laid them here among the ferns
And the hum of boughs divine,
Ye, vastest breathers of the air,
Shook down with slow and mighty poise
Your coolness on the human care,
Your wonder on its toys,
Your greenness on the heart's despair,
Your darkness on its noise.
