Night hovers all day in the boughs of the fir tree. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Experience A lonely fir-tree is standing On a northern barren height; It sleeps, and the ice and snow-drift Cast round it a garment of white. - Heinrich Heine, Book of Songs--Lyrical Interlude (no. 34) I remember, I remember The fir-trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky. - Thomas Hood, I Remember, I Remember In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember Their green felicity. - John Keats (1), Stanzas Kindles the gummy bark of fir or pine, And sends a comfortable heat from far, Which might supply the sun. - John Milton, Paradise Lost (bk. X, l. 1,076)
