Willow By The Brook Poem by Walterrean Salley

Willow By The Brook

Rating: 5.0


A willow grows,
And thus shows
Her beauty by the brook.
Such gorgeous scene—
Quite serene—
As if t'were from a book.

Thus evergreen—
Her branches seen,
Dangle by the brook.
Reflected in water,
Her beauty ne'er falters,
Demanding another look.

Nurtured and fed
By the brook's bed,
Ne'er is she forsook;
For, nature remembers—
January to December—
The weeping willow by the brook.

It seems you like the beauties of nature. That is so good. I used the willow twigs to make whistles in my far away youth. This was so meaningful for me. I thank you

A willow tree is usually considered as a symbol of gloom as Desdemona sang her swan song: her hand on her bosom, her hand on her knee sing willow, willow, willow... the reference to the weeping willow is very apt here...sorrow enhances the beauty of nature...sometimes! ! ! YES, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NATURE POEM...
