Description
Mankind has enjoyed a long and complicated association with the natural environment and this is exemplified in particular by the romance and interdependence with the nation's woodlands. It is both a source of practical materials for our homes and a place of spiritual and emotional refuge. This relationship is well documented in literature, poetry and prayer as in the following example believed to date from the nineteenth century but reflecting sentiments that are still relevant for our woodlands of today.
PRAYER OF THE WOODS
author unknown
I am the heat of your hearth on the cold winter nights,
the friendly shade screening you from the summer sun,
and my fruits are refreshing draughts
quenching your thirst as you journey on.
I am the beam that holds your house,
the board of your table,
the bed on which you lie,
and the timber that builds your boat.
I am the handle of your hoe,
the door of your homestead,
the wood of your cradle,
and the shell of your coffin.
I am the bread of your kindness and the flower of your beauty.
Ye who pass by, listen to my prayer: Harm me not.
