We are chopped down, we are torn up, you do not blink an eye.
Unless you make a promise now - now you are going to die",
"Whenever you see an oak-tree felled, swear now you will plant two.
Unless you swear, the black oak bark will wrinkle over you
And root you among the oaks where you were born but never grew."

My walk was the walk of a human child, but my heart was a tree.
