I once Met a river a river that ran
it tumbled down the mountain and raced across the land
I asked the river where do you go?
to my amazement he said would you like to know?
I go see the Willow the willow that weeps
her long reaching roots in my waters drink
when she has quenched her thrist when she has had her fill
I carry away the tears that she spills

I once met a robin a robin that sang
I asked the robin why do such a thing
Why sing with all your heart at the break of day
to my amazement this she did say
I sing for the willow for she is the most beautiful tre
I sing to the rhythm of the wind in her leaves
and from my nest I see the sunrise
I sing with all my heart is that a surprise?

I once met a willow a willow who wept
through this willow the wind calmy swept
I asked the willow why had she cried
to my amazement this she replied
the warmth that the sun gives
the sweetness of the rain
the good earth beneath me
no I do not complain
pity me not for the only cross I bear
is that the world is so beautiful it moves me to tears
