The Willow

Beneath the willow
Above the tender soil
Whistle, wind, and blow

River's laugh is sweet
While by the dusty earth, flows
Quick rhythm, repeat

Illuminating
Sunlight charms the slumber's beat
Rising and falling

Autumn skies alight
A gentle melody rings
With song, taking flight

In deep heart awakes
One mind, one spirit, one sight
Bound in blood, it breaks

When all, drifting down
Meets the ground, which voice did shake
Feeds, from sole to crown

Stands tall and royal
The willow, with proud renown
Rooted and loyal
