OAK
Midsummer king
Leaf-lipped man
Consort of ivy
Lover of mistletoe
Mud-drinker
Bluebell-shader
Pixie-hatter
Pig-feeder
Fungus-breeder
Homer of owl and crawling thing
Skin-tanner
Beer-barreller
Victor-crowner
King-concealer
Sedan for the pox-marked in powdered wigs
Frame and septum of house and ship
Arche of door and servant- paced floor
Cradler of canon and dissolving flesh
Crusher and splinterer
Wracker of unrepentant ones
Cooler of fever
Healer of kidney
Soother of aching limb
Autumn ruster of pool and sky
Conductor of bird song
and electricity
Photosynthesiser
I know all this of you,
but what do I know of you?
