The Passing of the forest
Keen is the axe, the rushing fire streams bright,
Clear, beautiful and fierce it speeds for man,
The Master, set to change and stern to smile,
Bronzed pioneer of nations. Ay, but scan
The ruined beauty wasted in a night.
The blackened wonder God alone could plan,
And build not twice! A bitter price to pay
Is this for progress - beauty swept away.
