What is different about your trunk? Said the Cedar to the Ash. It's rotten, ere forgotten, And its branches have long gone.
What is different about your leaves? Asked the Oak to the Holly. They're pointed and disjointed And their colour has gone dark.
What is different about your boughs? Asked the Poplar to the Yew. They're leveled and disheveled. Do you like them? Oh I do.
The sunlight is fanned by your boughs, dear Yew, Rain makes night seem longer on your leaves, my Holly Your trunk may be rotten, dear Ash, but it is terribly untrue To say that it does worse than any other.
The forest lights with sunly sprights And I will walk among the trees And hear the sounds and see the sights Of a nature much more at ease.
I like trees. Trees like each other. Nature is good. Thanks for all the wonderful comments! I wrote this watching the trees sway from my window, I hope you all love nature as much as me!
