The Song of the Dryad

I speak for the trees

for the dead falling leaves

for spring buds revealed

for hardened knots concealed

I speak for the woods

for somebody should

for the things that we waste

for things uneasily replaced

I speak for their souls

for their lack of control

for their sad siren songs

for the trees have no tongues

"I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues." 

~ The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
