The Green King

In the silent spans of forest
Leaf and branch am I,
Through my straws and leaves and
Sheaves of grain
The wind doth sigh,
Throughout time ever-changing
Unchanged in every age,
Know ye that I live and love life
Through life's every stage,
Know ye well that in the heart
Of every seed I lie,
Waiting to burst forth with life
Grow, live, grow old, and die,
Shed not any tears for me
When I am dead and gone,
In tender love I give my life
That the wheel turns on and on.
