Where Shade Once Was

Lyrics

Where shade once was, the oak tree in a sprawl
 Of death no longer writhing against the wind.
 The people say: "I see now. It was tall."
 And here and there slight nests of spring now find
 Themselves dependent on a severed height.
 The people say: "I see now. It was kind."
 The people praise. The people cut.
 Twilight comes and they haul their loads off.
 Through mid-air a cry...
 A blackcap crying out in flight,
 Seeking a nest that is no longer there.
