All it has experienced, tasted, suffered: The course of years, generations of animals, Oppression, recovery, friendship of sun and - Wind Will pour forth each day in the song Of its rustling foliage, in the friendly Gesture of its gently swaying crown, In the delicate sweet scent of resinous Sap moistening the sleep-glued buds, And the eternal game of lights and Shadows it plays with itself, content.

John Flavel (1627 - 1691) was a Presbyterian clergyman.

Flavel was born at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and studied at Oxford. A Presbyterian, held livings at Diptford (in Devon) and Dartmouth. He was ejected from the latter as a result of the Great Ejection of 1662; however, he continued to preach there secretly. After the Declaration of Indulgence 1687, became a minister of a Nonconformist Church there.

He was a prolific and popular author. Among his works are The Mystery of Providence , Husbandry Spiritualised (1669) and Navigation Spiritualised (1671), The Seamon's Companion(1676), titles which suggest some of his characteristics as a writer.

He died at Exeter, Devonshire, June 26, 1691.
