The Hemlock Tree Annotated

O hemlock tree! O hemlock tree! how faithful are thy branches!
&nbsp Green not alone in summer time,
&nbsp But in the winter's frost and rime!
O hemlock tree! O hemlock tree! how faithful are thy branches!

O maiden fair! O maiden fair! how faithless is thy bosom!
&nbsp To love me in prosperity,
&nbsp And leave me in adversity!
O maiden fair! O maiden fair! how faithless is thy bosom!

The nightingale, the nightingale, thou tak'st for thine example!
&nbsp So long as summer laughs she sings,
&nbsp But in the autumn spreads her wings.
The nightingale, the nightingale, thou tak'st for thine example!

The meadow brook, the meadow brook, is mirror of thy falsehood!
&nbsp It flows so long as falls the rain,
&nbsp In drought its springs soon dry again.
The meadow brook, the meadow brook, is mirror of thy falsehood!
