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
