Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I 'll protect it now.
--

Oh leave this barren spot to me!
Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree!Thomas Campbell
The bud is on the bough again,
The leaf is on the tree.Charles Jeffreys
Come to the sunset tree!
The day is past and gone;
The woodman’s axe lies free,
And the reaper’s work is done.Felicia Hemans
When a tree, a natural product, is felled, is society put into possession of no greater produce than that of the mere labour of the woodman?
Jean-Baptiste Say
If you gaze at a single leaf on a single tree, you do not see the other leaves. If you face the tree with no intention and do not fix your eyes on a single leaf, then you will see all the many leaves. If your mind is preoccupied with one leaf, you do not see the others, if you do not set your attention on one; you will see hundreds and thousands of leaves.
