"A LITTLE fir grew in the midst of the wood". Henry Van Dyke (1852-193 "THE FOOLISH FIR-TREE"

Lol, the little fir tree in a dream state of vanity wakes and becomes content with itself only to be harvested as a Christmas tree.
"Beneath a laurel, two fair streams between," - Francesco Petrarca; Sonnet CLVII. Una candida cerva sopra l' erba. / The Vision of the Fawn.... https://www.poetrycat.com/francesco-...a/sonnet-clvii
re fir tree: Didn´t notice that, but agree totally with you. I think that either virtue sometimes brings curious rewards or the poet, in this case is of the opinion that been used as a Christmas tree is a honor and a reward in itself.
"The Vision of the Fawn...". Petrarca at his cutest!:). Was however a bit bewildered by the difference between both translations. I was a bit shocked, when, in the first rendition, the poet suddenly falls into the water. Sort of comic twist at the end. But in the second he merely awakes to reality.
