Crying tree, o' crying tree
What have you seen, I did not see
Is our world in such a dismal state
Have you learned its final fate
Crying tree, o' crying tree
What have you heard, I did not hear
Are the masses moaning great despair
Do other ones no longer care
Crying tree, o' crying tree
What have you felt, I did not feel
Your falling tears, your breezy sigh
I cry with you and know not why
Edwin Robinette
