Lyrics
I longed to love a full-boughed beech And be as high as he: I stretched an arm within his reach And signalled unity But with his drip he forced a breach And tried to poison me I gave the grasp of partnership To one of other race - A plane: he barked him strip by strip From upper bough to base; And me therewith; for gone my grip My arms could not enlace In new affection next I strove To coll an ash I saw And he in trust received my love; Till with my soft green claw I cramped and bound him as I wove... Such was my love: ha-ha! By this I gained his strength and height Without his rivalry But in my triumph I lost sight Of afterhaps. Soon he Being bark-bound, flagged, snapped, fell outright And in his fall felled me!
