Question

O tree, so big and stout and strong.

You‟ve lived so very, very long;

A hundred years or more. I‟m told
and yet you‟re not so very old.

A hundred secrets 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;

Yet you were once as small as I

Some day when I have grown up, too,

I‟m coming back to visit you;

And changed though other things will be.

I‟ll find the same dear friendly tree.
