The reverse bears trees with fallen branch. Between them, across center, a poem by Archer Huntington:
THE SILVER GARDENS
GREY OAKS OF MYSTERY
BENEATH THEIR CLOISTER ARCHES IN PALE ROSE
THE MORNING CREEPS, EPIPHANY OF DAY.
FILLING THE BREATHING DEPTHS WITH PROPHECY.
IN LAMBENT LIGHT AND LYRIC PREPARATION
TO RAISE AGAIN THE HOLY HYMN OF DAWN.
ARCHER M. HUNTINGTON
