O pine trees singing in the early spring
What is the song you chant so well tonight?
The breeze takes up your melody to sing;
A lover's moon sifts out a softer light.
You sound your needles like wind chimes of old,
And voices hush to hear your mystic lay.
O pine trees singing in a night of gold,
What is your message for the coming day?
Shall hope become the burden of the chant
You broadcast to the wanderers as they go?
So hearing this they may more firmly plant
Such seeds of song to grow for friend and foe.
And so it is by listening you may hear
This melody of pine song every year.
