lyrics

The Birch Tree

Lyrics: Rachel Leblanc and Mélanie Cantin
Music: Mélanie Cantin
Adaptation : Rachel Leblanc and Mélanie Cantin

I
My bark's a snowy beard and
A wisened druid am I
Young and lovely maiden
ʹround me dance at night
In the springtime of their lives
Of bridegrooms do they dream
Dancing out their pleasures
And braiding ribbon streams.

Chorus
And so they danced before
The damosels of yore
They gathered ʹneath the tree
And sang of love to be

II
I am a tree of Finland
In Quebec do I grow
From the drums of Ireland
And Russia to be sure
I am the wisdom tree
My bark's a discovery
Exquisite faded parchment
Weaved in poetry

Chorus

III
Near his gentle fire
And baubles made of wood
Your cradle, little darling
Comes from birch's robe
Beneath the boughs of birch tree
Baby white as he
Drifting into slumber
As I sing tenderly.
