Teak's as gentle as the ocean,
are better than thine creation.
My trees mew for hunger and ray
Sway and pray in the end of day
I'm happy that you're obeying
but in the end you're dying
The birds tweeting deep in the fields,
ascending steepy mountain yields.
I'll protect you, from snow, from cold,
from heat, until you'll grow old.
Thy poems are a gift to me,
and yes, I can make a tree.
Teak's as gentle as the ocean,
are better than thine creation.
My trees mew for hunger and ray
Sway and pray in the end of day
I'm happy that you're obeying
but in the end you're dying
The birds tweeting deep in the fields,
ascending steepy mountain yields.
I'll protect you, from snow, from cold,
from heat, until you'll grow old.
Thy poems are a gift to me,
and yes, I can make a tree.
