How many secrets do you hold!
Dear Tree of 50 plus years old
How many people have you seen
Come and go from this village green?
Are you here as our sentinel?
Keeping watch over one and all
Can you sing for me dear Tree?
As I know you can…believe me
Or do you protect your pulses
From the Ill-affected
That has made you wary
Of humans that are too scary?
Ohhh? What is that sound? Listen…
Can you hear the trills of the
Emerald Forest joining in chorus
Telling their stories of sadness
And glories
