So let’s not cut them down

The tree

 

See how it stands,

That tree,

So tall and proud,

Feet in earth,

Head in cloud,

Scarred by lightning,

Lashed by rain,

Bowed by wind,

Upright again.

 

Dying in gold,

Reborn in green,

Think what it’s heard.

Think what it’s seen.

Dumb it may be,

But it speaks to you,

And it speaks to me.

And it’s telling us both

A thing or two.
