Beneath the willow
Above the tender soil
Whistle, wind, and blowRiver's laugh is sweet
While by the dusty earth, flows
Quick rhythm, repeatIlluminating
Sunlight charms the slumber's beat
Rising and fallingAutumn skies alight
A gentle melody rings
With song, taking flightIn deep heart awakes
One mind, one spirit, one sight
Bound in blood, it breaksWhen all, drifting down
Meets the ground, which voice did shake
Feeds, from sole to crownStands tall and royal
The willow, with proud renown
Rooted and loyal
