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 shinging 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 I sat there in my gloom
|
and the light was fading dimly and the sky ws 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 didn not know what I would find
|
and the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
|
