Nature Notes From Crater Lake
Volume 7, No. 3, September 1934
Hemlocks
(In the Crater Wall)
By Ernst G. Moll, Ranger-Naturalist
Serene where death once pitched his
camp, they lift
Green spires against blue water far below;
And the scarred slopes where their slow shadows drift
Drink the cool peace that only trees bestow.
