The Maple's Lament |
When I was alive the birds would nest upon my boughs |
And all through long winter nights, the storms would 'round me howl |
And when the day would come, I’d raise my branches to the sun |
I was the child of earth and sky, and all the world was one |
But now that I am dead, the birds no longer sing in me |
And I feel no more the wind and rain, as when I was a tree |
But bound so tight in wire strings, I have no room to grow |
And I am but the slave who sings, when master draws the bow |
But sometimes from my memories I can sing the birds in flight |
And I can sing of sweet dark earth and endless starry nights |
But oh, my favorite song of all, I truly do believe |
Is the song the sunlight sang to me while dancing on my leaves |
