Analysis of The Forest
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Write in Pennsylvania, where I started,
Where I learned
Walking by the streams and rivers
Everywhere they turned
It’s where I came to Jesus Christ
The very place. And I was born twice
That’s where the book begins and ends
In the forest of Hereth
With all my friends
