The Pine Tree
In the wild north a pine tree stands alone
On the bare top of a mountain.
It slumbers and sways, covered with
Powdery snow like a mantle.
On the bare top of a mountain.
It slumbers and sways, covered with
Powdery snow like a mantle.
5 And it dreams constantly: that in faraway wilds
In the land where the sun rises,
A cheerless and lovely palm stands alone,
Growing on a gloomy cliff.
