Subject: Lyr Add: TREE WASSAIL
what about the lovely "Tree Wassail"-


We praise the trees, strong may you grow, we praise your roots that downward go
We praise your branches reaching high, bearing leaves that touch the sky.
        In the spring with blossoms crowned, in fall apples ripe and round.
        Bless the flower and bless the seed, and bless the fruit of every tree.
May winters cold to you be kind, may you blossom in the spring sunshine
May gentle rain in its season fall, may you be loved by one and all
        In the spring with blossoms crowned, in fall apples ripe and round
        Bless the flower and bless the seed, and bless the fruit of every tree.
We thank you for your blossoms sweet, we thank you for the fruit we eat.
Receive our thanks for all you give, growing joy, long may you live.        
        In the spring with blossoms crowned, in fall apples ripe and round,
        Bless the flower and bless the seed, and bless the fruit of every tree.
