#115--My Tree--The North Wind's Masonry

Come see the north wind’s masonry.

Out of an unseen quarry evermore

Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer

Curves his white bastions with projected roof

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

#101--My Tree--11-19-2007--First Snowfall

Announce by all the trumpets of the sky,

Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields,

Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air

Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,

And veils farm-house at the garden’s end.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
