Trembling Giant
Listen to Connie reading her poem ...
Graceful grove of aspens,
Catkin flowers in Spring,
Pando, oh Pando,
Nature’s largest living thing.
Shimmery leaves of silver,
Quaking in the breeze,
Pando, oh Pando,
Splendid grove of aspen trees.
You’re a trembling giant,
Second in size to none,
Pando, oh Pando,
Shining in the Utah sun.
Glorious in autumn,
Golden colors that sing.
Pando, oh Pando,
Nature’s largest living thing.
Catkin flowers in Spring,
Pando, oh Pando,
Nature’s largest living thing.
Shimmery leaves of silver,
Quaking in the breeze,
Pando, oh Pando,
Splendid grove of aspen trees.
You’re a trembling giant,
Second in size to none,
Pando, oh Pando,
Shining in the Utah sun.
Glorious in autumn,
Golden colors that sing.
Pando, oh Pando,
Nature’s largest living thing.
