Elm Tree (Ulmus)
And the great elms o’erhead
Dark shadows wove on their aërial looms,
Shot through with golden thread.
Longfellow—Hawthorne. St. 2.
In crystal vapour everywhere
Blue isles of heaven laughed between,
And far, in forest-deeps unseen,
The topmost elm-tree gather’d green
From draughts of balmy air.
Tennyson—Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere.
