“I am like a tree,
From my top boughs I can see
The footprints that led up to me.”

“I never see that prettiest thing-
A cherry bough gone white with Spring-
But what I think, "How gay 'twould be
To hang me from a flowering tree.”

“I shall be like that tree; I shall die from the top.”

“When I gathered flowers
For my girl
From the top of the plum tree
The lower branches
Drenched me with dew.”

“In my childhood I led the life of a sage, when I grew up I started climbing trees”

“I like my beat down low, and my top let back
Can see me ride 24's wit a chopper in the back”

“Try to discover who I am from my choice of words and colors, as attentive people like yourselves might examine footprints to catch a thief.”

“Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.”

“Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I 'll protect it now.”

“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.”
