Her name was Hawthorn
She had long thin limbs,
But was sturdy and unwavering,
People came to her for shelter,

And like a willow she protected them,
Her name was Hawthorn
Just like her name she flourished everywhere,
She was strong.

She was a bastion,
Strength to those who had lost theirs,
Her name was Hawthorn,
Nothing could hurt her.

Until she fell in love,
Heartbreak rotted her through,
Even the strongest oaks fall,
Her name was Hawthorn.
