Beech Tree by Patrick Kavanagh
Performed by
Patrick KavanaghBeech Tree Annotated
I planted in February
A bronze-leafed beech,
In the chill brown soil
I spread out its silken fibers.
Protected it from the goats
With wire netting,
And fixed it firm against
The worrying wind.
Now it is safe, I said,
April must stir
My precious baby
To greenfly loveliness.
It is August now, I have hoped,
But I hope no more –
My beech tree will never hide sparrows
From hungry hawks.
