GOODBYE, WILLOW


Whose arms I seek both night and day

Whose leaves I spy when ‘er they sway

Amongst the bush asleep does lay

Awaken lovely tree











I’ve waited long and weary past

Mid storms and rains and snowy blast

The time for you to bloom at last

Is beckoning lovely tree









The name is wrong for brings to mind

Another place, another time

No weeping here oh willow mine

Oh beauteous wondrous tree














Our minds did mend and hearts did swell
While all around was swirling hell
No mind was paid to ringing bell
Thou ever thankful tree




So seasons change and we shall sing
The song of love and hearts of Spring
With gladness that true love will bring
My lovely, willow tree







Rest in peace, my lovely willow tree.
