The Greenwood Tree
As I walk slowly through the quiet wood
I feel the need to kneel and say a prayer.
The sacredness of trees is understood
For symbol and its meaning coalesce here
The canopy on high is bathed in sun
and birdsong is so lovely to my ears.
The noise of city traffic I now shun
And natural meditation calms my fears.
The trees were bare and elegant last week
Today the leaves have opened sweet and green
I hope no thunderstorm will wreak
It’s havoc on the newborn world I 've seen.
For nothing on this earth will last for long
So commemorate sweet Spring with a new song
