Oh, empty swing, beneath our maple tree-
for many years now, withered and distressed;
as summer breezes make you sway, I see-
remember times when you were truly blessed.
For many years now, withered and distressed-
abandoned by two generations past;
remember times when you were truly blessed
by first our children- then, grandchildren last.
Abandoned by two generations past-
with many years unused between the two-
by first our children- then, grandchildren last-
recall them swinging when I look at you.
With many years unused between the two,
as summer breezes make you sway, I see-
recall them swinging when I look at you;
oh, empty swing, beneath our maple tree.
