Down by the stream on a summer evening
the willows walk hand in hand.
They sway gently
as they saunter along the bank—
trees of great charm and dignity.
And I think they love each other,
these willows along the bank.
I think they’re happy to be just there
near the water
creating the shade
preserving cool
throughout the summer.
They always exude
such a satisfied feeling
Especially in the evening
when I see them walking hand in hand
along the bank of the stream.
