Triolet: The Tree

A tree has roots that hold on to the ground
And limbs that reach up to the sky above.
While birdsong fills her branches with its sound
A tree has roots that hold on to the ground;
For all her gifts of fruits so ripe and round,
The bird cannot return her verdant love.
A tree has roots that hold on to the ground
And limbs that reach up to the sky above.
