I can even see a face =)

I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,
And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss,
And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room,
It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends,
(For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,)
Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love;
For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space,
Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near,
I know very well I could not.

I don't usually comment. I thoroughly enjoy your puzzles and thank you for sharing the beautiful poem.

Great idea and implementation! Thank you very much!

This is brilliant! I love the extra detail. It was pretty easy to solve, but also fun and the reward was this beautiful picture.

Oh, this is pleasant.

Good

Such a great picture!

A little easy, Prikicki, I'm a little disappointed. :P. But in all seriousness, nice picture.

I thought it was a volcano
