To heal mine aching moods, Give me God's virgin woods.

In two compact lines Scollard voices a late‑19th/early‑20th‑century lyric impulse: nature as spiritual medicine. “Aching moods” suggests emotional fatigue or melancholy, and the remedy is not society or distraction but retreat into “God’s virgin woods”—forest imagined as unspoiled, pre-commercial, and therefore closer to the divine. The phrasing fuses religious diction (“God’s”) with a Romantic/Transcendental valuation of wilderness, implying that renewal comes through contact with creation rather than through doctrine alone. The couplet’s rhyme and prayer-like imperative (“Give me…”) heighten its tone of supplication, as if the speaker asks for a sacrament of solitude and green silence to restore inner balance.
