Listen! The great trees call to each other:
?Is it come your time to die, my brother??
And through the forests, wailing and moaning,
The hearts of the pines, in their branches groaning:
?We die, we die!

Flaying the bark, and our bodies baring,
Like dim, white ghosts in the moonlight staring,
Naked we stand, with the life-sap welling?
Tears of resin to gather for selling?
We die, we die!?

All through the land are the forest dying,
One piece of silver a tree-life buying;
Listen! The great trees moan to each other;
?The ax has scarred us too, my brother?
We die, we die!?

-North Carolina poet Anne McQueen (1924)
