The Green and Leafy Trees, They Stand
A solemn and impressive band,
With decorations in their hats
Like admirals and diplomats ;
And yet, their job is filling men
As dumb as they, with oxygen —
For all the splendid pomp they wear.
They do but pump the world with air.
Proving, that trees, beneath their hats,
Are admirals and diplomats.
