Wisdom Beneath The Tree

La sagesse sous l'arbre

Wisdom Beneath The Tree 

The village School lay silent, rent and bare;

Its broken walls gave teachers cause to cease.

"The house must rise," they sighed, "ere lessons fare;"

Thus learning slept, awaiting brick and peace.

One kindly Soul assembled every Child

Under an ancient Maple with spreading shade;

The whispering winds blew cool, serene and mild,

While birds their cheerful morning anthem played.

The emerald grass became the woven floor,

The rugged trunk the faithful teacher's board;

The boundless sky became the roof once more,

Flowers breathed fragrance where the children soared.

For wisdom needs no a palace built by Men,

And a loving heart can found a School again.
