Crucifixion on a Tree

To wit we never saw you dream

Forgiveness mine to hold, to keep

And it was there you drew your last

For journeys must begin and rest

But time will tell us of your song

We'll sing to silent night 'for long

And taste that rosy almost-dew

Wept from the tree that once bore you

Somewhere between earth and sky

Between tunnels deep and branches high

Above you limbs renew in Spring

Like you, who with the dawn still sing
