Balancing willows on the tip of the earth The ground below eagerly catching their tears Their dilapidated easel is poorly shaken But they have not given into such inconceivable fears A thinking man's dream of peace forsaken Only to build in one hundred drawn-out years The simplicity of man has thus been taken As the willow weeps for that so cavalier Where the grease of industrialization so nonchalantly flows The willow in his beautiful stability knows That when man's irreverent complexity grows His drooping leaves to wilt like a rose
