First lines
The Past unto the Present cries -- / Arise, ye more than blind, arise! / For I who fell the forest low / Would now another forest grow, / But what is done I cannot mend, / So unto you a message send -- / Much did I do for you, for me / Plant a tree, / Plant a tree.
The Present, waking from its sleep, / Across the hills began to creep, / And saw where Past had fallen far / A noble forest, with a scar / On many a wounded mountain side / That from the elements would hide -- / And answered:Past, I will for thee / Plant a tree, / A forest tree.
