Our..Casuarina..Tree

Like a huge Python, winding round and round looks the rugged trunk, indented; form deep recesses or notches in position or begin (a line or block of text) further from the margin than the main part of the text; deep with scars, up to its very summit; the highest point of a hill or mountain: the highest attainable level of achievement; near the stars, a creeper climbs, in whose embraces; hold closely in one's arms, especially as a sign of affection: include or contain: accept or support (a belief or change) willingly; bound. No other tree could live but gallantly; brave; heroic. The giant wears the scarf; a length or square of fabric worn around the neck or head; and flowers are hung in crimson; a rich deep red colour inclining to purple: Clusters; a group of similar things positioned or occurring closely together; all the boughs among, where on all day are gathered bird and bee; And often at night the garden overflows with one sweet song that seems to have no end, sung darkling from their tree, while men repose.

When first his casement is wide open thrown at dawn, his eyes delighted on it rest; Sometimes, and mostly in winter,—on its crest; a comb or tuft of feathers, fur, or skin on the head of a bird or other animal; a gray baboon; a large ground-dwelling social monkey with a long doglike snout and large teeth; sits statue-like alone Watching the sunrise; while on lower boughs. Its puny offspring leap about and play; and far and near kokilas hail the day; And to their pastures wend their sleepy cows; and in the shadow, on the broad tank cast by that hoar; grey or grey-haired with age tree, so beautiful and vast. The water-lilies spring, like snow enmassed; all together...But not because of its magnificence dear is the Casuarina; a tree with slender, jointed, drooping twigs bearing tiny scale-like leaves, native to Australia and SE Asia. To his soul beneath it they have played; though years may roll, for all the sweet companions, loved with love intense. For their sakes, shall the tree be ever dear. Blent with their images, it shall arise in memory, till the hot tears blind his eyes! What is that dirge-like; a lament for the dead, especially one forming part of a funeral rite: a mournful song, piece of music, or sound. –; murmur that he hears like the sea breaking on a shingle-beach? A mass of small rounded pebbles, especially on seashore. It is the tree's lament, an eerie speech; strange and frightening. That haply to the unknown land may reach.
