Living luscious tinting

The rich brown-umber hue the oaks unfold 

When springs young sunshine bathes their trunks in gold 

So rich so beautiful so past the power 

Of words to paint—my heart aches for the dower 

The pencil gives to soften & infuse 

This brown luxuriance of unfolding hues 

This living luscious tinting woodlands give 

Into a landscape that might breath & live
