Here you will find the Poem In The Carolina Woods of poet Padraic Colum
HERE you should lie, ye Kings of eld, Barbarossa, Boabdil, And Czar Lazar and Charlemagne, Arthur, Gaelic Finn- Here where the muffling Spanish mosses Forests with forests fill! Not in a cavern where the winds Trample with battle-call, But in these woods where branch and branch From tree and tree let fall Not moss, but grey and cobweb beards, Kings' cabalistic beards! Here should you sleep your cycles out, Ye Kings with hoary beards!
