We Do Not Wish, None of Us

We do not wish, none of us
In raising, to harm
Less a hand, a slapping thought!
As much who gives, who receives
Oft for the shock grieves.

What can we say, fellow trees?
World-facing, cower.
Of the same overwrought force
A gale's, for each other's mood
Met with. That cold; crude.
