A pine-tree stands, on a height all weathered,
Aloof in the desolate north,
And slumbers whilst lulled, and the powd’ry snow
Enshrouds its body like cloth;
And sees in its dream, in a far-away desert
Which covers the sunrise land,
A beautiful palm tree, alone and low
Upon scaldin’ rock in the sand.
