Willow
Oh Willow,
Why did they never tell you?
Abandoned in the meadows
No Ash tree to attend to
I hear you in the shadows,
Humming in your canoe
Downstream,
Downstream,
Oh Willow,
You are so gone, it seems
Branches scratching at you
With sweet-nothings so serene
And Willow,
This is what I’ll attest to:
Your branches are strong,
Despite your core feeling weak,
This is where you belong!
If you’ll let your sap leak
Belting your triumph in song,
We will turn the Ash Trees meek
For they not deserve
The beauty us Willows keep

Willow trees are symbolic of feminity, and ash trees are symbolic of masculinity.
