Quotes about fir-trees (2 Quotes)

To dwellers in a wood almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature. At the passing of the breeze the fir-trees sob and moan no less distinctly than they rock the holly whistles as it battles with itself the ash hisses amid its quiverings the beech rustles while its flat boughs rise and fall.

I remember, I remember The fir-trees dark and high I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky It was a childish ignorance, But now 't is little joy To know I'm farther off from heaven Than when I was a boy.
