Still Stands the Oak See base text
Language: English
And then the sound of marching armies ‘woke Amid the branches of the soldier oak, And tempests ceased their warring cry, and dumb The lashing storms that muttered, overcome, Choked by the heralding of battle smoke, When these gnarled branches beat their martial drum. Still stands the oak.
