“LAST OFFERING ...That tree was imbedded In the walls and the ceiling. That, who subscribed its organs Several times to the rites Of a lineage. Great-great-grandfather reared it, his descent Relished its shades And multiplex offering. The great new sons felled it For the repairs of the old House. Yet the tree was happy To have merged into the family. ~Kanwar Dinesh Singh”
