Alfred Lord Tennyson - The Oak

Live thy life,
Young and old,
Like yon oak,
Bright in spring,
Living gold;

Summer-rich
Then; and then
Autumn-changed,
Soberer hued
Gold again.

All his leaves
Fall'n at length,
Look, he stands,
Trunk and bough,
Naked strength.

The Oak - Comments and Information
Poet: Alfred Lord Tennyson Poem: The Oak Comment 1 of 1, added on June 7th, 2006 at 6:11 PM. I loved this poem. I especially liked how Tennyson managed to keep each line rhyming and with only three beats in each line. Livvy from Canada More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
