 Most Southern Roots

South America southernmost,

Humans find a Magellan beech

On a shore off of Cape Horn's coast.

The tree, the humans deem, does reach

The furthest south on planet Earth,

Estimated forty years old,

Just two feet high, two inch trunk girth,

Bent sideways from the wind and cold.

The humans are excited that

This southernmost tree they have found

Surviving in a habitat

Hard for many trees to abound.

This Magellan beech tree had no

Comment on being found to grow.
