Tell me, trees! What are you whispering?

It is strange
Standing here
Beneath the whispering trees
Far away from the haunts of men.
Tell me, trees!
What are you whispering?

When I am dead
I shall come n lie
Beneath your fallen leaves…
But tell me, trees!
What are you whispering?

They shall bury me
Beneath your fallen leaves.
My robe shall be
Green, fallen leaves.
My love shall be
Fresh, fallen leaves.
My lips shall be
Sweet, fallen leaves.
I and the leaves shall be together
Never parting…
I and the leaves shall always lie together
And know no parting.

It is so strange
Standing here
Beneath the whispering trees.
Tell me, trees!
What are you whispering?
