Silver bark of beech, and sallow <br />Bark of yellow birch and yellow <br /> Twig of willow. <br /> <br />Stripe of green in moosewood maple, <br />Colour seen in leaf of apple, <br /> Bark of popple. <br /> <br />Wood of popple pale as moonbeam, <br />Wood of oak for yoke and barn-beam, <br /> Wood of hornbeam. <br /> <br />Silver bark of beech, and hollow <br />Stem of elder, tall and yellow <br /> Twig of willow.<br /><br />Edna St Vincent Millay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/counting-out-rhyme-2/
