Give back the tree that stood by the gate Casting its shadow to the south Cutting hedges in half Protecting the smallest of animals From the hottest sun.
You have been a horizon from a silled room A fragrance guided by light Tomorrow's promise of another And the gap left is a silence Remembered when I cry .
The Maple was cut down by the council about ten years ago .So missed it. The council did not replace it . Such a joy it was 30 foot high Thank you Tree.
