Avenues of larches
Acid green against the sky,
Dip their graceful branches
As the breeze goes softly by.

It whispers to the treetops,
So faintly does it sigh,
Listeners to the tune succumb
To its gentle lullaby.

It sings of distant places,
Of forests wild and high,
Of mountains streams and valleys
Where dryads creep and hide.

Mourning at the winds refrain
The larches seek to nullify
The lure of the sirens song
Heard in the zephyrs cry.

And though anchored in the parkland
They bend their boughs and try
To find solace in the grasses
Where they must live and die.
