First Line: I could not be
Last Line: And tree.
Subject(s): Nature; Solitude; Togetherness; Loneliness
I could not be
A thing apart --
Aloof from you,
From skies of blue,
From flowers so sweet,
From every leaf
And twig
And tree,
I could not be
A thing apart --
So help me
To be
In unison
With thee,
And every leaf,
And twig,
And tree.
