Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruins and Old Trees: Associated With Memorable Events in English History The oak of Chatsworth, Planted by her Majesty when princess victoria. Wave on, ye old memorial trees, In the wintry wind and the summer breeze: Beacons ye are of days gone by, Of grief and crime, of the tear and sigh. Ah! may they never come again, In hut or hall, on hill or plain! But a young tree is growing, Where clear streams are flowing; Its roots are deep in the mother earth, In the parent soil that gave it birth, And its noble boughs are waving high, Meeting the breeze or the summer wind's sigh; While quivering lights and shadows play On the flowery sod beneath; And flocks lie down in the heat of day, 'Mid the fragrant thyme and heath.
