about

Lyrics are from the eighteenth century poem The Beech Tree's Petition by Thomas Campbell.

lyrics

Pause, Woodman, ‘ere you make a stroke
Against this unoffending oak.
Think if there be no other way
And let the noble fellow stay.
But if by hard necessity
You are compelled to fell the tree,
Then go perform an act of grace
And plant another in its place.
