Place a mirror by a tree;
Tell me now, what do you see?
Which of you will feed the earth?
Which of you contains more worth?
Which of you with sheltering arm
Keeps a thousand things from harm?
Which of you is nature’s bane?
Which is Abel? Which is Cain?
Which of you is God’s delight?
Which of you a parasite?
Place a mirror by a tree;
Tell me now — what do you see?
Composed en route to a ceremony at Catton Hall, South Derbyshire, marking the planting of the four-millionth tree at The National Forest.
