gershon hepner - how admirable the stately trees

How admirable the stately trees
that make no sound until a blast
of wind in autumn makes them sneeze,
as on the ground their leaves they cast.

Oh what a contrast to those men
who need no wind to make them walk,
yet cannot with their throat or pen
compete with trees that do not talk!
