WILLOW'S STARS, by SARA-LOUISE HEILBRON
First Line: You told me to look up and see the stars
Last Line: And you the weeping willow tree.
Subject(s): Willow Trees
First Line: You told me to look up and see the stars
Last Line: And you the weeping willow tree.
Subject(s): Willow Trees
You told me to look up and see the stars
Tangled in the weeping willow branches.
The lovely, lovely summer stars
Were all caught in the swaying boughs above.
They didn't seem to mind their capture
By the slender, graceful limbs,
Nor would I have minded had I been the stars
And you the weeping willow tree.
