Redbud Tree

Hunted down I came upon

A place of ferns and grass

Gathered to a redbud tree

And now their footsteps pass

Where I crouch in dread

Discovery my certain death

Bur leaves reaching for my head

As I suspend my breath



Redbud tree shelter me shelter me

Redbud tree shelter me shelter me



Those days of fear are gone

Yet I am pledged to her

As to my only one

My lovely protector



Redbud tree shelter me shelter me

Redbud tree shelter me shelter me

Redbud tree shelter me shelter me

Redbud tree shelter me shelter me
