"The Woods" by Douglas Malloch is a collection of poems published in 1913, that beautifully captures the essence and simplicity of nature, contemplating human existence, affection, and the bond we share with our planet. Focused mainly on the beauty of pastures and woodlands, Malloch calls on readers to cherish peaceful moments discovered in nature.
