Question

O tree, so big and stout and strong, You have live so very, very long A hundred years or more, I am told And yet you are not so very old. A hundred secret you could tell Of children whom you love so well, Who came and sat beneath your shade Or underneath your branches played. A hundred birds have built their nest Your leaves have softly kissed their breasts Your branches seem to touch the sky, Yet you were ones as small as I. Some day when I have grown up too, I am coming back to visit you And changed though other things will be, I will find the same dear friendly tree.
