A single fir-tree, lonely, <br />on a northern mountain height, <br />sleeps in a white blanket, <br />draped in snow and ice. <br /> <br />His dreams are of a palm-tree, <br />who, far in eastern lands, <br />weeps, all alone and silent, <br />among the burning sands.<br /><br />Heinrich Heine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-palm-tree/
