Now spring is Comingcoming, And the trees are beginning to bloom, Now winter has treated they so, The birds are singing out of tune. We can’t leave the amimals out, But above all is the tree, They give carbon dioxide to everyone., They ^give it to you and me. Oh! ifIf only the tree could talk, It would tell things done in the dark, It would ^tell us the coming future, About the Sunsun, rain, and the lark. If only the tree could talk, It would tell the things done in the light, It would tell us the things we could remember, It would ^tell us things thoughthrough the night.We have corrected though to through. Now, I’ve studied about the trees, and I think I’ve done my share, I love the trees well as human beings, Their sweet perfume's everywhere.
