The Girl And The Yew Tree
There was once a girl who fell in love with a yew tree
It’s quiet sad they say,
But how depressing could it actually be?
She grew up with the yew tree, stumbled upon it when she was a baby
And suddenly felt a connection, and with it immense affection
It took her places far and high
It helped her climb towards the top, up into the glorious sky
Her soft hands felt, the tall hard bark and she knew what was beneath
She pressed herself against the tree and heard it slowly breathe
She spent many summers with her companion
Who stood tall and strong as her guardian
And gave her shelter no matter,how dark or cold may be the weather
She loved the tree and the tree loved her,
Their separation was impossible
“I would live for thee...would you live for me??”
And she heard every leaf rustle
But no one forsaw what was to happen,
It was natures law...to create...to destroy,
Which made Mother Earth herself sadden
That night a storm rumbled,
With such power which made the whole world humble
It tore apart the yew tree and with it the heart of the girl
The tree fell down with a wail, crashed to the ground
The girl wept and wept till first light,
Then all was quiet,there was no sound
The next day when the storm cleared,
The people went to the yew tree and peered
And saw a dead girl hugging a dead tree,
“I would die for thee....would you die for me??”
And you ask how depressing it could actually be??
There was once a girl who fell in love with a yew tree...
