Canopy of Trees

Beneath thy arches

A walk with patterned hatches

The student watches.

Shady is the lawn,

Thy beauty is fresh at dawn,

Even if not mown.

Fields where bright minds meet

There are challenges to beat

A privileged feat.

Teachers so gentle

Unfettered and strong mettle

Loftily subtle.

Harnessing one’s thought

Learning can never be bought

Every student sought.
