And thus the seedling awakened green
Listening to the melody of a stream
Its tender shoots tasted a cloud
As the swollen stream sang aloud
The little one grew tall and strong
Listening to the stream’s gurgle song
Then a proud tree rose to the sky
And waved to the clouds passing by
Buds forgot but the roots remembered
The happy gurgle they had heard
The song that nurtured the seedling’s soul
Tugged its heart in knots and whorl
As green shoots dared to touch the sky
Roots went longing for the lost lullaby
