Under the Greenwood Tree is a novel written by Thomas Hardy and first published in 1872.

"To dwellers in a wood almost every species of tree has its voice as well as its feature. At the passing of the breeze the firtrees sob and moan no less distinctly than they rock; the holly whistles as it battles with itself; the ash hisses amid its quiverings; the beech rustles while its flat boughs rise and fall."
