I had a Tree, in the dream hills where my childhood lay.
|
And I'd go there in the wide, long days,
|
And my Tree would listen to all that I'd say.
|
|
And the sun was shining brightly,
|
and the sky was smiling,
|
and the sun was shining brightly,
|
and the sky was smiling.
|
|
Then one day when the world had put me in its tomb,
|
And my life was just an empty room,
|
I went to my tree and sat there in my gloom.
|
|
And the light was fading dimly,
|
and the sky was crying,
|
and the light was fading dimly,
|
and the sky was crying.
|
|
Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground,
|
And its green leaves shrouded up my mind,
|
And I left the world somewhere behind,
|
And I did not know what I would find.
|
|
But the sun was shining brightly,
|
and the sky was smiling,
|
Oh the sun was shining brightly,
|
and the sky was smiling
|
