I WATCH A TREE
I watch a tree from my window,
Her boughs are cold and bare,
But shiny icy tinsels
Are woven in her hair.
I watch a tree from my window,
The tiny buds appear ;
The day is warm and sunny
' And spring is getting near.
I watch a tree from my window,
: She is gracious as a queen,
Adorned in fragile blossoms
With emerald's in between.
