With the sweat of their brow men have nourished its green leaves.
Their tears have moistened the earth about it.
With their blood they have watered its roots.
The seasons have come and passed, and the tree has grown and flourished.
And its branches have spread far and high, and ever fresh shoots are bursting forth,
and ever new leaves unfolding to the light.
But they are all part of the one treethe tree that was planted on the first birthday of the human race.
The stem that bears them springs from the gnarled old trunk that was green and soft
when white-haired Time was a little child;
the sap that feeds them is drawn up through the roots
that twine and twist about the bones of the ages that are dead.
