WEEPING WILLOW TREE
NOTICE THE SADNESS IN ITS' NAME
WEEPING SO SILENTLY
WHO IS TO BLAME?
BENEATH THIS TREE I SHALL LAY
WITH ALL ITS' BEAUTY ON DISPLAY
SWAYING GENTLY IN THE BREEZE
I'LL SIT AMONG THE FLOWING LEAVES
SO GRACEFULLY IT REACHES ROUND
TO LET ITS' BRANCHES TOUCH THE GROUND
THE TRUNK IS STRONG & VERY HARD
ITS' ROOTS STRETCH OUT ACROSS THE YARD
IT LOOKS SO SAD OR DEEPLY DEPRESSED
TO HIDE ITS' FACE IN ALL THAT DRESS
SO THIS THE PLACE I CHOOSE TO BE
ALONE BENEATH THIS WEEPING TREE
I WILL HIDE RIGHT HERE AMONG THE LEAVES
AND WATCH THEM DANCE AS LONG AS I PLEASE.
