"Waking Up The Trees"Waking up the trees The elven folk did stand In the place of memory Where now walks cruel man Giving the woods voice To talk amongst themselves The ents did awaken To the language of the elves And speaking in their tongue They created wooded lives Singing come, come away To their ent girls and wives And I wonder if the trees Still talk when men are still And when lovers are among them Is nature's dream fulfilled? Waking up the trees The elven kind made a choice To give the forest beauty And every leaf a voice © 2003 Paul D. Aronson. All Rights Reserved. |
