WATCH TIME COME, WATCH TIME GO,
WISE OLD YEW, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
WATCH TIME COME, WATCH TIME GO,
WISE OLD YEW, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
OH MAGIC TREE YOUR SECRETS KEEP
A POTION WISE OF HEALING DEEP.
BUT ‘SLIPS OF YEW’ ON MOON’S ECLIPSE,
A FATAL END, BEYOND THE LIPS.
WITH ARROW OF BIRCH, AND GREY GOOSE-WING,
THE ENGLISH YEW, DID LONG-BOW BRING.
PROTECTING ALL, UNDER ALBION SKIES,
REMEMBERING CLEAR THE BATTLE CRIES.
IMMORTAL TREE, FOREVER GREEN,
SILENT WITNESS OF ALL YOU’VE SEEN.
WATCH TIME COME, AND WATCH TIME GO,
WISE OLD YEW, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
DRESSED SO DARK, OH HOLLOW TREE,
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE I’LL BE?
FOR WHEN I’M GONE, YOU’LL STILL BE HERE,
PROBABLY FOR A THOUSAND YEAR.
AND WHEN I’M BACK, AND YOU ARE OLD,
I’LL LISTEN TO YOUR TALES UNFOLD.
OF ALL THE WARS, AND CHIEFTAINS PAST,
AND THINGS THEY DREAMT, THAT DID NOT LAST.
IMMORTAL TREE, FOREVER GREEN,
SILENT WITNESS OF ALL YOU’VE SEEN.
WATCH TIME COME, AND WATCH TIME GO,
WISE OLD YEW, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
SO UNDERNEATH THE GREAT YEW TREE,
INSPIRATION COMES TO ME.
SITTING LONG, AND THINKING DEEP,
A POET’S TIME FOR WORDS TO KEEP.
WE’LL COME AND GO, AND THIS WE KNOW,
NOW I’VE BECOME A TREE!
A POET SITS BENEATH MY BOW,
TO JOURNEY JUST LIKE ME.
IMMORTAL TREE, FOREVER GREEN,
SILENT WITNESS OF ALL YOU’VE SEEN.
WATCH TIME COME, AND WATCH TIME GO,
Wise old yew, what do you know?
