lirik lagu woodman, spare that tree – davíd garza
[spoken intro]
given the need we have
to think of preserving
all the beauty that has been given to us
i am drawn to this poem
“woodman, spare that tree”
by george p. morris
[spoken poem]
woodman, spare that tree!
touch not a single bough!
in youth it sheltered me
and i’ll protect it now
’twas my forefather’s hand
that placed it near this cot;
there, woodman, let it stand
thy axe shall harm it not
that old familiar tree
whose glory and renown
are spread o’er land and sea**
and wouldst thou hew it down?
woodman, forebear thy stroke!
cut not its earth*bound ties;
oh, spare that aged oak
now towеring to the skies!
when but an idlе boy
i sought its grateful shade;
in all their gushing joy
here, too, my sisters played
my mother kissed me here;
my father pressed my hand**
forgive this foolish tear
but let that old oak stand
my heart*strings round thee cling
close as thy bark, old friend!
here shall the wild*bird sing
and still thy branches bend
old tree! the storm still brave!
and, woodman, leave the spot;
while i’ve a hand to save
thy axe shall harm it not
