HILLTOP DUET, by                    
First Line: Old vagabond wind
Last Line: Brrr . . .


The Tree
Old Vagabond Wind,
Will you never take root?
Will you never settle down
To the soil,
And bear fruit?

The Wind
Old Stay-at-home Tree,
Will you never take wing?
Will you never break loose,
And roam free
Like a king?

Both
The earth is for you,
And the air is for me --
But the poor little fishes,
(Those little white fishes)
Must stay in the sea,
In the cold slimy sea --
Brrr . . .
