Under the Tree is a collection of poems about country life and the sweet, lovely comforts of simpler things like going to school or milking a cow. Excerpt: "I saw a shadow on the ground And heard a bluejay going by; A shadow went across the ground, And I looked up and saw the sky. It hung up on the poplar tree, But while I looked it did not stay; It gave a tiny sort of jerk And moved a little bit away."
