Strauss (builder of the Golden Gate Bridge) These are the last two stanzas of his poem, written decades ago about the Redwoods:: This is their temple, vaulted high, And here we pause with reverent eye, With silent tongue and awe-struck soul; For here we sense life's proper goal; To be like these, straight, true and fine, To make our world, like theirs, a shrine; Sink down, oh traveler, on your knees, God stands before you in these trees. Everyone should have the chance to walk amongst the Redwoods. We d love to show them to you.
