The people in the Tree were humming,
singing praise
and smiling, too;
and Oh! I loved their beauty -
they were serene, wise-looking, their eyes so deep and their embrace
so true.
I loved the rhythm of their hearts,
and mine grew milder - still free, but unobscured by judgement and clouded not by fear.
The people in the Tree were humming
new Life into my veins,
and I grew mildly, a sapling of the True.
