The Mighty Oak

How prescient William Davies’ 1913 poem, "The Old Oak Tree," is when we look at the climate of our earth today! William Davies’ poem’s first stanza reads:

I sit beneath your leaves, old oak,

you mighty one of all the trees;

And his last stanza reads:

To lie by day in thy green shade,

and in thy hollow rest at night;

and through the open doorway see

The stars turn over leaves of light.

The “mighty” oak has in fact become one of the biggest heroes of today’s positive climate change strategies.
