6. The Ivy Green
"Whole ages have fled, and their works decayed,
and nations have scattered been;
But the stout old ivy shall never fade
from its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant in its lonely days
shall fatten upon the past;
Fot the stateliest building man can raise
is the ivy's food at last.
Creeping on where time has been
a rare old plant is the ivy green."
Charles Dickens.
