Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

- Walnut Tree -

The old walnut tree in the meadow weep
Time had arrived her strains in sorrow steep

Echoes of a nameless and powerful storm break in
I feel shivers on my bare skin

I would like to touch and hug it, before it dies
The roots of the tree pointing up towards the skies

In the backyard of mourning, distant in all its splendor
Never a new spring, feel its shaking so tender
