Gently o gently touch me with care

Softly o softly drench me with nectar

A tiny little sapling soft and tender

Glistening leaves, stem so slender

Pure and pristine like a new born

Let me grow, leave me unshorn

Shield me from searing sun

My life on earth has just begun

Feed me right with love sublime

I'll gain strength in years over time

My crown my foliage and my limbs

For weary travellers for nesting avians

A shady boon for mighty and mean

Lungs of city, cover of green

If you wish to save mother earth

Nurture me from my very birth
