--


In a garden that I walked today

Grow two trees at the centre


One is tall, wide and straight, with branches thrust forth

From where leaves rustle and birds bustle their songs


The other tree stands side by side

Long and slender, with a beautiful sway in its pride


When the two trees sway together, filtering the warm sunlight

The Garden of Eden I remember, such is the beauty of this sight


The two conspire like playmates, to catch the naughty wind

And all three stand back together, just shooting the breeze!


All the other trees in the garden, form a protective group

Around the lovely two in the center, that their beauty should not droop


And when the moon comes out, to smile at her beloved trees

With a happy sigh of satisfaction, they all go to sleep!


For tomorrow’s another day, for this happy song

Sunlight, children, lovers and laughter, around the two trees throng!
