Thread Name: Yule Tree Carol (pagan) from CapriUni
Subject: RE: Yule Tree Carol (pagan) from CapriUni
BTW, the lyrics of this song are based on a poem I wrote as a Christmas present for my mother, some 20 years ago (don't remember exactly when, but I know I was at least a sophomore in college at the time):

Walk with caution around this tree
whose root reach deep within us all.

Dance with grace around this tree
whose trunk is our spine and our strength.

Laugh with humor around this tree
whose branches are filled with spirits singing
like so many birds in the spring.

Love this tree.
Learn its songs.
Taste its fruits.
Fall asleep in its shade.

Build a treehouse as high as you can
And invite everyone to tea.
There's room enough.
