5 minute poetry

Is that from The Name of the Rose? I have the book lying around somewhere (haven't read it yet) but I've seen the movie, though it was awhile ago.

Anyways, to keep on-topic I dug up a really old poem. Crappy. Blargity:

Holding us in a guise of mystery
from the waning and waxing moon
to the tempestuous seas.
Its solemn zephyrs mystify
-caressing fields and whispering
truths and secrets- then illusionaries.
The trees stand stiff and grow old-
and quiver and sway from time to time with their
wiseness and telling of lore
-of the stream, of the sun, of the wind and air-
in rhythm with the passing years.
It is an enigma
That holds us eternally
-For just when we think we understand it-
it deceives us again.
