The Living, and the Dying, and the Dead

Figure descriptions
A large tree with a wide trunk stands in the countryside. The tree has a hollow at its center. There are hills and additional trees in the background. The preceding illustrative content is partially contained within a dark, medium-weight border on the left, top, and right edges. The border cuts off most of the tree’s canopy and descends the illustration on the left edge. Dense wild plants grow in the foreground beyond the reach of the aforementioned border; the plants mostly obscure the border’s descending left edge. Part of the poem text is let in to a rectangular blank space in the bottom-right corner of the illustration. The blank space is designed to look like a sheet of paper; its top-left edge is folded over. Foliage is visible behind this rectangular space. 1/2 page.
A stream winds through a wooded area. Trees and dense foliage grow along the stream banks. The scene is partially contained within a dark, medium-weight border on the left, top, and right edges. The border connects with the illustrative content in the bottom-right corner and mid-way down the left side of the illustration. Dense wild plants grow in the foreground beyond the reach of the aforementioned border; the plants partially obscure the border’s left edge. 1/2 page.
