It was late Spring

when I met a tree.

It sang to me:

“ I feel so happy

just like a king.

My arms have birds

that whole day sing.”

Then came Summer,

I met again the tree.

It sang to me:

“ Now I’m wearing

a nice green suit

and all my arms

are heavy with fruit.”

When Autumn came

I met the friendly tree

and it sang to me:

“ I have put on

yellow, brown and red

but now I really feel

a little bit sad.”

In Winter we met again

the tree and me

and so sang the tree:

“ I’m naked and cold.

I’m waiting for spring

to see the sunshine

and hear the birds sing.”

And this is the story

of the Four Seasons Tree

that sang four songs to me.
