Brother, shall we safely be?
For there is no place to ‘scape a falling tree.
Brother, shall we not hear the sound?
For their trunks of thunder hit the ground.
Brother, shall we lest our sorrow weigh?
For the forest is capped with snow of grey.
Brother, shall we taste the food on our plate?
For we only eat charcoal that lies in our wait.
Brother, shall we claim?
For this forest crumbles for our flame.
Brother, shall we make it past this hour?
For even the forests are hurt by their flowers.
