"Under Old Linden Trees near Erding" by Adolf Chelius‘Linden’: A Poem by Thor Kangas The Society April 25, 2025 Beauty, Poetry 2 Comments . Linden She stands against the sunlit sky, _Her beauty plain to see. The birds sing sweet and pleasant songs _High in the linden tree. The weary travelers stop below _To rest their weary bones, And listen to the happy birds _Sing cheerful, rhythmic tones. They rest beneath her cooling shade; _Wind whispers through her leaves. Their eyelids slowly creeping down, _Beneath the linden tree. . . Thor Kangas is a poet residing in Castle Rock, Washington.
