And on that grave where English oak and holly
And laurel wreaths entwine
Deem it not all a too presumptuous folly,—
This spray of Western pine!


'Dickens in Camp' (1870)


And on that grave where English oak and holly And laurel wreaths entwine Deem it not all a too presumptuous folly,— This spray of Western pine!

And on that grave where English oak and holly And laurel wreaths entwine Deem it not all a too presumptuous folly,— This spray of Western pine!

And on that grave where English oak and holly And laurel wreaths entwine Deem it not all a too presumptuous folly,— This spray of Western pine!

And on that grave where English oak and holly And laurel wreaths entwine Deem it not all a too presumptuous folly,— This spray of Western pine!
