Lyrics
The Willow Tree

Under the Willow tree
to browse by the brook
Perched by, the Rook cries
'What do you know?'

Someone:
'All who have eyes to see
live here in peace
Plants give us strength
Oaks let us breathe'

The Rook:
'Away on the wind
the Angelswans, flown
Northeast, Southwest
so long since gone'

'There in the Kodak shot!'
so cries the Rook
Bystanders look beyond
The elder within

Someone:
'Why sleep the gloaming
the fruit of the moon
Everywhere harmony
the Raspberry in bloom'

The Angelswans:
..The Willow tree wakens
the Rook's clarion call
Angelswans answer
'Someone since gone'

The Bystander:
'Under the Willow tree
to browse by the brook
Everywhere harmony
the Raspberry in bloom'

All:
‘All who have eyes to see
live here in peace
Plants give us strength
Oaks let us breathe'.
