At the tree of silence, In a dark wood, I had hung my tears, But the birds of laughter With their bright eyes Sang in the branches of my tomorrow, And the paths grew good And the sun strong. From tree to tree those good birds went, In dawn’s glow and at dusk they gathered And they sang their most voluptuous songs Which echo along these paths I wander. The birds are singing in their tall trees. Good lord that they could sing forever, And the sun stay strong, And the times good, And the roads run forever further from The dark wood.

Poem for the Birds
At the tree of silence, In a dark wood, I had hung my tears, But the birds of laughter With their bright eyes Sang in the branches of my tomorrow, And the paths grew good And the sun strong. From tree to tree those good birds went, In dawn’s glow and at dusk they gathered And they sang their most voluptuous songs Which echo along these paths I wander. The birds are singing in their tall trees. Good lord that they could sing forever, And the sun stay strong, And the times good, And the roads run forever further from The dark wood.
