CHAPTER EIGHT. In Which the Geese Are Sold
CHAPTER NINE. In Which the Gnomobile Goes East
I know a forest dim and stilled. Where towering trees a temple build; And in that forest lives a gnome, He sorrows in his ancient home; The axes lay the forest low, And where’s a little gnome to go? He’s young—a thousand years of life. Confront him, and he wants a wife. But all the gnomes have gone away, And who’s to tell him where they stay? Only one kind of man may know it; He brings his burden to a poet. Lovers of woodlands one and all, Wherever you may hear my call: Go spread the word, seek high, seek low, Wherever ferns and mosses grow; And if you find a lady gnome. I offer her a happy home

CHAPTER FOURTEEN. In Which a Farewell Is Said
Build his bones into a tree, And his blood the sap shall be; And his tiny hands shall turn. Into waving fronds of fern; All the forest things that run. With an old gnome shall be one; Every bird shall be his heart, And the flowers shall have part. In his wisdom, and the bees. Bear his love upon the breeze, And the longing of his soul. Make the fallen forest whole
