Out in the trees, dirt on our knees

We laid him down forever

And on that hill there it was still

As in the ever after


He lays his rest we knew it best

To lay him down so gently

And now he sleeps where moss does creep

And no more is he with me


The birds did cry, and so did i

To think of life so lonely

And in their song I heard it long

What sadness, and what beauty

Your friend is gone, but you live on

In life you loved him fully

But now little streams and forests dream

And all is made more holy
