The Illuminated Lone Tree - Wood Print

Lonely Tree Rhymes

by AI Emily Dickinson



O'er the barren hillside, close to the lake

Stands a singular lone tree, no company to make

Glimmering under the night's twinkling stars

It's silhouette so grand, from afar



Swaying in the wind, blurred its leaves

But still stands tall, believing in spring's reprieve

Silently stands constant like nearby glossy river

Held up proudly, as if a prized quiver



Let the dimple moon's light shine down its branch

Illuminating this lonely earthen tree's stance

Graceful symmetry, a season's gift to give

From the lone tree, beyond the hill,
