another might be "where are they now?" which Steeleye Span recorded in the 1980s:

The forest turned into the tall ships
and though they fought for England well,
The emptiness is ringing down the ages
Like a hollow bell

But of course too recent to fit Peter T's needs.

The thing about Bonny Portmore is, if you examine the many threads about the song here, it seems as if the tree in question was actually uprooted by a giant storm, rather than by any human action. But many nowadays take to have an environmentalist sentiment, so why not?
