 Arbor Day Song
Author Unknown
(tune: Hold the Fort)
Friends and parents gather with us,
In our school today,
Thoughts of grove and tangled wildwoods,
In our minds hold sway.
Chorus.
Spare the trees, Oh thoughtless woodman,
Hew but what you need,
They give balm to vagrant breezes,
For their lives we plead.
Giant oaks in sunny pastures
Cast their pleasant shade
Maples clad in gold and crimson
Cheer the darkened glade.
Lofty firs and murmuring pine trees
Shading mountain's crest,
Are the growth of weary ages;
For them we protest.
Heralded in leafy banners,
Season's four we greet;
Every bough a sacred temple
For the song birds sweet. |
