SING A SONG FOR A CHERRY TREE ANY DAY WILL DO
A whispering
pine said, “Come
let's plant a cherry tree, We’ll
use a spade, make wide its hollow bed. Where
we will plant a cherry tree, a seed will do.
“And
cover over with water and earth
The lovely work of nature, We’ll thinkofbirds and greening trees Sing a song for a cherry any day will do. “We’ll think of orchards far from town Of heights where streams Come tumbling down, Where bluebirds sing and play.
“Where
rain is coaxed from flying clouds Till
everything is clean and fresh Everywhere you see. We’ll see a tiny cherry tree wake up.
“Then
throw the earth aside And stretch for a climb to the
sky, Come, sing a song for my cherry tree Any day will do.
