The tree that held the forbidden fruit Held our destiny within its root The ancient secrets that it kept May hold the tears that the willow wept The tree that holds the robin's nest Holds life most precious, it is blessed The tree from which nightingales sing Holds the melody until spring But the tree that I will forever miss Is the tree under which we kissed So long ago our hearts did leap With sweet caress and passions deep The tree where hearts will meet in bliss Is the tree that holds tomorrow's kiss Written by: Joseph May
