The Dogwood & I
Won't you bury me
'neath the dogwood tree
Pointed east toward the rising sun
Take comfort, dear
Let it bring you cheer
The dogwood & I will be one
Each and every spring
Birds will come to sing
Alighting on my branches
What is truly me
Will never cease to be
My form will be all that changes
As the spring gives way
To the summer haze
I'll watch flowering fields grow tall
And life's brevity
On display for me
As they're cut short in the fall
When at autumn's end
As my leaves descend
I'll surrender each one, knowing
That my naked limbs
Will bare buds again
As the birds resume their thronging
So when you've buried me
'Neath the dogwood tree
Pointed east toward the rising sun
Take comfort, dear
Let it bring you cheer
The dogwood & I
Are now one
'neath the dogwood tree
Pointed east toward the rising sun
Take comfort, dear
Let it bring you cheer
The dogwood & I will be one
Each and every spring
Birds will come to sing
Alighting on my branches
What is truly me
Will never cease to be
My form will be all that changes
As the spring gives way
To the summer haze
I'll watch flowering fields grow tall
And life's brevity
On display for me
As they're cut short in the fall
When at autumn's end
As my leaves descend
I'll surrender each one, knowing
That my naked limbs
Will bare buds again
As the birds resume their thronging
So when you've buried me
'Neath the dogwood tree
Pointed east toward the rising sun
Take comfort, dear
Let it bring you cheer
The dogwood & I
Are now one
