The Unconscious Tree[1]
In lowland grows the cherry
With branches swaying in high glee.
Why do you look so merry?
I envy you, unconscious tree.
In lowland grows the cherry
With flowers blooming in the breeze.
Why do you look so merry?
I envy you quite at your ease.
In lowland grows the cherry
With fruit overloading the tree.
Why do you look so merry?
I envy you from cares so free.
[1]The speaker, groaning under the oppression of the government, wished he were an uncon scious tree.
