Hmm. Is it from Mordant's Need? I'm not sure I can think of anywhere else it might have been said.

I don't think that's from Mordant's Need; maybe it's from a Daughter of Regals or Reave the Just short story......

Hmm. No one said we had to keep this to SRD, did they? Given the absence of the poster of the last question, I shall revive this with...A NON-SRD QUOTE!

Let's be about it, people.
I will start you off with one small hint. It is from a Science Fiction book.
"Branches spread and tree trunks grow
Through rain and heat and snow and cold:
Though wide world's winds untimely blow,
And earthquakes rock and cliff unseal,

My leaves grow green and seedlings bloom
Since days before the Earth was old
And Time began its walk to doom,
The Forests world's bare rock anneal,

Forbidding dusty waste and death
I am the Land's Creator's hold:
I inhale all expiring breath,
And breath out life to bind and heal.

But ax and fire leave me dead.
I know the hate of hands grown bold.
Depart to save your heart-sap's red:
My hate knows neither rest nor weal."

A quick googling reveals the source of FW's quote-- a David Weber book; said author has his own following and a very cool website. Now I wish I had access to his books.

This was said to Linden I believe, by the H... oh, crud. Brain freeze. All I think of is "Hagalena Magalena." :P You know, the old lady who trades herself for Linden in the end.

Right you are, deer!

It's said to Linden in Andelain...OH! It's said by Foamfollower in White Gold Wielder!
