Does the May tree weep
When the black knot gnarls its branches
Does the May tree weep
When the air lies heavy with smoke and ash
Darkening the last days of an ancient forest
Does the May tree weep
When melancholy memories of its sapling years
Recall spring rain awakening young roots
To the first blush of a seasons promise
Does the May tree weep
As storm winds creak and groan through fettered branches
No longer fresh in the bloom of youth
Does a longing for the strength of days long past.
Hold peace at bay.
Does the May tree weep for us
