A place to dream.
A place to sigh.
A place to live.
A place to die,
and as the
ripples in the pool lengthen and quiver
as they recede, making the inverted images
of the mirrored trees tremble in the
reflected sunlight, and the dark greens of
the fire and the rich reds and yellows of
the live oak and sycamore dance together
in endless confusion. We are filled with
the inspiration of nature and turn regretfully
away, for
All day through sunlit forest aisles,
On rocks and leaves our feet they trod;
It was inspiring, miles and miles,
It was the land, the land of God.
-A.B. Richmond
