In its topmost
branches the wood-pigeon built her nest, and the cuckoo carried out his usual
vocal performances, and his well-known notes echoed amid the boughs; and in
autumn, when the leaves looked like beaten copper plates, the birds of passage
would come and rest upon the branches before taking their flight across the sea.
But now it was winter, the tree stood leafless, so that every one could see how
crooked and bent were the branches that sprang forth from the trunk. Crows and
rooks came by turns and sat on them, and talked of the hard times which were
beginning, and how difficult it was in winter to obtain food.
Crows and
rooks came by turns and sat on them, and talked of the hard times which were
beginning, and how difficult it was in winter to obtain food. It was just about
holy Christmas time that the tree dreamed a dream. The tree had, doubtless, a
kind of feeling that the festive time had arrived, and in his dream fancied he
heard the bells ringing from all the churches round, and yet it seemed to him to
be a beautiful summer's day, mild and warm. His mighty summits was crowned with
spreading fresh green foliage; the sunbeams played among the leaves and
branches, and the air was full of fragrance from herb and blossom; painted
butterflies chased each other; the summer flies danced around him, as if the
world had been created merely for them to dance and be merry in.
All that
had happened to the tree during every year of his life seemed to pass before
him, as in a festive procession. He saw the knights of olden times and noble
ladies ride by through the wood on their gallant steeds, with plumes waving in
their hats, and falcons on their wrists. The hunting horn sounded, and the dogs
barked. He saw hostile warriors, in colored dresses and glittering armor, with
spear and halberd, pitching their tents, and anon striking them. The watchfires
again blazed, and men sang and slept under the hospitable shelter of the
tree.
