• No white nor red was ever seen So am'rous as this lovely green. Fond lovers, cruel as their flame, Cut in these trees their mistress' name. Little, alas, they know or heed How far these beauties hers exceed! Fair trees! where s'e'er your barks I wound, No name shall but your own be found.

• Down the street the dogs are barking And the day is getting dark. As the night comes in a-falling, The dogs´ll lose their bark And the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my mind, For I´m one to many mornings And a thousand miles behind. From the crossroads of my doorstep, My eyes they start to fade, As I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid.

  Bob Dylan

• A murmuring, fateful, giant voice, out of the earth and sky, Voice of a mighty dying tree in the Redwood forest dense.... [T]he wood-spirits came from their haunts of a thousand years, to join the refrain; But in my soul I plainly heard. Murmuring out of its myriad leaves, Down from its lofty top, rising two hundred feet high, Out of its stalwart trunk and limbs - out of its foot-thick bark, That chant of the seasons and time - chant, not of the past only, but of the future.

  Walt Whitman

• To Helen Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand, Ah! Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!

  Lay dreaming on the waters blue,
  Whereon our little bark had thrown
  A little shade, the only one;
  But shadows ever man pursue.

• Moss grows where nothing else can grow. It grows on bricks. It grows on tree bark and roofing slate. It grows in the Arctic Circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. ... It is a resurrection engine. A single clump of mosses can lie dormant and dry for forty years at a stretch, and then vault back again into life with a mere soaking of water.

• I know not that there is anything in nature more soothing to the mind than the contemplation of the moon, sailing, like some planetary bark, amidst a sea of bright azure. The subject is certainly hackneyed; the moon has been sung by poet and poetaster. Is there any marvel that it should be so?

• Oh! welcome to the wearied Earth
  The Sabbath resting comes,
  Gathering the sons of toil and care
  Back to their peaceful homes;
  And, like a portal to the skies,
  Opens the House of God,
  Where all who seek may come and learn
  The way the Saviour trod.
  But holier to the wanderer seems
  The Sabbath on the deep,
  When on, and on, in ceaseless course,
  The toiling bark must keep,
  And not a trace of man appears
  Amid the wilderness
  Of waters--then it comes like dove
  Direct from heaven to bless.

  Sarah Josepha Hale

• Tis reason's part
  To govern and to guard the heart,
  To lull the wayward soul to rest,
  When hopes and fears distract the breast;
  Reason may calm this doubtful strife,
  And steer thy bark through various life.
