lyrics

Big Tree, Big Tree, how I long to know,
All the things that you have seen, in the long ago;
Long before the foot of man trod beneath your shade,
When the wild things roamed the wood, free and unafraid.

Ere my father's grandsire lived, you were tall and grand,
Like a sentinel you stood, watching o'er the land;
Long before the cruel axe laid your brothers low,
You were king of all your kind, in the long ago.

Many changes have you seen, like a passing show,
Scenes of love and scenes of hate, in the long ago.
High within your leafy crest, voices come and go,
Telling of the many things that I long to know.

But my listening ear is dull, and but faintly hears,
All the tales that you would tell of the passing years.
Only birds can understand whispering soft and low,
Wondrous stories that you tell of the long ago.

-Catherine C., 1923
