- Description: Staring at the full moon: "must be full of wonders!" Leaning on the old oak, as he sits and ponders and the oak? Though rugged, it gets sentimental Bark too rough for hugging, but its soul is gentle

Staring at the full moon: "must be full of wonders!"  
Leaning on the old oak, as he sits and ponders  
and the oak? Though rugged, it gets sentimental  
Bark too rough for hugging, but its soul is gentle
