during which I’ve goodness, and discernment,
and by no means hurry by the world
however stroll slowly, and bow typically.
Round me the timber stir of their leaves
and name out, “Keep awhile.”
The sunshine flows from their branches.
They usually name once more, “It’s easy,” they are saying,
“and also you too have come
into the world to do that, to go straightforward, to be stuffed
with mild, and to shine.”
