Whose woods these are I think I know: these woods belong to me:
That line of mountains, all the sky I see.
Thank you, Amherst, for three places you’ve given me:
A place right here, a place for roots.
A growing place, a greening place, a warmness when it’s cold.
A second place I’ll go someday, a place awaiting me:
A line of mountains I can see from here that someday
I will climb and maybe from their heights I’ll see another line…
And then above me, all the sky-
A limitless expanse,
Where I will stretch my mind and soul like wings and fly.
Three gifts will last me till I die:
These gifts of wood, and mountains, and sky.
