Leafy green, don't be so mean

Drops dropping down you, Leafy green

Rain drops they are naive and clean.

They didn’t wash away your color or sheen

Did they polish and make you clean?

In your face, I gaze and preen

Try finding mine as clear and clean.

Rustle in my ears, long it has been

Tell me the secret, don’t be so mean!

Time would come when rain would give in

Leaving behind your boughs and the luster green

Slipping down those stems you too would begin

You too would wonder what could have been

If some spell could keep you evergreen

Green forever, not losing your sheen

Then I would drown you leafy green

In search of your color, in search of your sheen.
