Under the Tree of Knowledge

Let me lie here and know
why over this ground this 
apple tree makes a long shadow
and a light sound.

For a moment death will wait,
but this tree will not,
nor will it mourn for me when 
there is sweet birdsong all around.

My sapling moment has passed, 
my winter comes and I have 
climbed and shaken every bough
and know the fruit within.
