Dr. Fernow's Ode to the Woodpecker -
Woodpecker, Spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth in sheltered me
And I'll protect it now;
To cultivate beneath its shade
Four acres and a cow.
Be it a Sitka Spruce
Or yet a Douglas fir,
Or spreading hemlock fine
I am its worshipper!
Long shall its branches wave
Secure from every ill,
Though when Columbus ploughed the main
It was a sapling still.
Peck then some other tree
And send me in your bill
