The trees
When we plant here
let us think that we
plant forever, let it
not be for present
delight nor for present
use alone. Let it be such
work as our descendants
will thank us for and
let us think that a time
is to come when these
trees will be held sacred
because our hands have
planted them and that
men will say as they look
upon the wonder
and substance of them 'see
this our fathers did for us'Adapted from John Ruskin
