BEECH
Where my imaginary line
Bends square in woods,
an iron spine
And pile of real rocks
have been founded.
And off this corner in the wild,
One tree, by being
deeply wounded,
Has been impressed
as Witness Tree
And made commit to memory
My proof of being
not unbounded.
Thus truth's established
and borne out,
Though circumstanced
with dark and doubt-
Though by a world
of doubt surrounded.

- The Moodie Forester
Robert Frost, 1942
