‘Ten Tall Oak Trees’ is a touching poem by Richard Edwards (1523 – 1566), the English poet and playwright.
It is about ten majestic oak trees which are cut down one by one or destroyed by the fury of nature.
The king has the first one cut down to build war ships. The second one is taken for charcoal while the third is struck down by lightning. Another two are cut, for firewood and for making barrels, leaving five. The next one falls to the wild wind and another one is cut down by the carpenter for making floor boards. The council decides to bring down one, considering it unsafe and yet another one is cut to make way for the by-pass road, leaving just a single one. The farmer deals the final blow to the lone standing oak tree, saying that it is a nuisance.
In the end none are left to grace the land and sky.
