Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Weeping Willow Mourns

Answer me, oh Willow Tree
     As you weep so low
Only trouble do I see
      Why do your tears flow

Has the wind not confided
     That love will humble all
That though we are divided
     We’ll bond before we fall

Answer me, oh Willow Tree
     Is your sorrowing for me
