Tannenbaum

Here I grow, a handsome fir tree, Standing upright within my wood; An innocent, then let me be. Where now I thrive for all to see, Strobilus stemmed out of the bud; Here I grow, a handsome fir tree. Today I prosper, living free, As streaming sap spawns my lifeblood; An innocent, then let me be. Forever green and wild are we, My friends and I'd age if we could; Here I grow, a handsome fir tree. The gentle breeze may hear my plea And listen to me as it should; An innocent, then let me be. So, man is come to sever me, To rob me of my livelihood. Here I grow, a handsome fir tree An innocent, then let me be. Alan S Jeeves
