Yell’ham-wood’s Story Annotated

Coomb-Firtrees say that Life is a moan,
&nbsp And Clyffe-hill Clump says "Yea!"
But Yell'ham says a thing of its own:
&nbsp       &nbsp It's not "Gray, gray
&nbsp       &nbsp Is Life alway!"
&nbsp       &nbsp That Yell'ham says,
&nbsp Nor that Life is for ends unknown.

It says that Life would signify
&nbsp A thwarted purposing:
That we come to live, and are called to die,
&nbsp       &nbsp Yes, that's the thing
&nbsp       &nbsp In fall, in spring,
&nbsp       &nbsp That Yell'ham says:-
&nbsp "Life offers—to deny!"
