Plant in the spring-time the beautiful trees, So that in future each soft summer breeze, Whispering through tree-tops may call to our mind, Days of our childhood then left far behind. Days when we learned to be faithful and true; Days when we yearned our life's future to view; Days when the good seemed so easy to do; Days when life's cares were so light and so few. _Second pupil._ Plant trees for beauty, for pleasure and for health; Plant trees for shelter, for fruitage and for wealth. _Third pupil._ NOBILITY. True worth is in _being_, not _seeming_, In doing each day that goes by Some little good--not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. --ALICE CARY. _Fourth pupil._ PLANTING OF TREES. |
