Excerpt from Maid Marian: I Love Peacock
Rambles in Windsor Forest and by the banks of Thames. The whole book is permeated with this feeling, which attains especial intensity of expres sion when condensed into lyrics such as these The slender beech and the sapling oak That grow by the shadowy rill, You may cut down both at a single stroke, You may cut down which you will.
But this you must know, that as long as they grow, Whatever change may be, You never can teach either oak or beech To be aught but a greenwood tree.
