But soon the gale, with hatred filled and spite, Tore us with brutish force from her one night;. And onward drove me, till at last I found A rest in this bleak desert's sterile ground. I grew up here, and centuries have I Seen slowly come and slowly pass me by. My life is sad, and through these many years. I found my sole relief in burning tears. In vain I look around, I cannob see Even one that is of my dear family. Once in a while I'm visited by men. I serve them cheerfully, as well I can. Al...l those who come in summer's burning heat Eind my delightful shade a joyous treat. And fire is kindled from my branches dry For those who, in the winter days, pass by. As gallows even, I end the misery Of those who, in despair have come to me. And this is all; with this I now have told The story of my life; now being old, I wish to die — to end my life and woe! Once in a while the gale, my ancient foe, Comes here, but harms me not. He does in vain. Shake me with all his might; I firm remain. But what will bring about my fall at length, I, who for ages stood in giant strength?
