Around the Tree
I cannot see
Around the tree
In front of me
It's tall and wide
Thus does it hide
The other side
But if I move
Out of my groove
Would this it prove-
A picturesque scene
Well-watered, green
Clear paths so clean
Or crowded trees
Brambles and screes
Uncertainties
But if I stay
Certain dismay
Would come my way
So I must peer
Move out of fear
And pioneer
The other side
That tree did hide
It's vast and wide
For now I see
Around that tree
In back of me
It's smaller now
From bough to bough
No more hoosegow
