I recall a love long past That tended wounded me, A love so pure it could not last But dying as a tree That once I saw on a lonely road, A regal ancient one Betrayed by man's malevolent mood, Dying as the sun Wakened to the morning breeze And whispered to the trees, “I will take her softly now Do not ask me why or how.”
