A Weeping Willow Mourns

Beneath a weeping willow tree,
       my love lays in death-
I missed his last breath,
he wanted to be free.
       Did he have a plan,
       to be beneath this willow?
    Life had broken this man,
    and he had become a shadow .
Suddenly, weeping leaves are falling,
and my name, softly calling.
