Weeping Willow

oo   weeping willow   oo
oo   why do you mourn so   oo
oo   laden with inconsolable sorrow   oo
oo   tears of woe overflowing in soft moonglow   oo
o  incognito on tiptoe to and fro such source of vertigo  o
to hovering melodies of oboe under a van gogh rainbow
oo   o  o   oo   oo    oo   o  oo o    L       oo  o o   oo  o   oo   o  o
o       o  o     o       o     o       o    LO      o  o     o     o  o   o    o  o
o       o  o     o       o     o    o       LOV        o o     o     o        o    o  o
