Aaron Copland — Dirge in Woods

A wind sways the pines And below Not a breath of wild air; Still as the mosses that glow On the flooring and over the lines Of the roots here and there The pine-tree drops its dead; They are quiet, as under the sea Overhead, overhead Rushes life in a race As the clouds the clouds chase; And we go And we drop like the fruits of the tree Even we Even so
