: i cannot find the poem with the line "As trees are by their bark embraced, love to my soul doth cling ?

The poem that you are looking for is called

"A Pastoral Dialogue Between Alexis and Strephon"

What you have is not the first line, the first line is 'There sighs not on the plain"

The poem was published in 1674

The verse that you had the line from goes:

As trees are by their bark embraced,
love to my soul doth cling
when, torn by the herds greedy taste
the injured plants feel their defaced
they wither in the spring
