THE WHISTLING TREE

i have a tree that whistles
situated in my yard
and you can hear the melodies
if you just listen hard
.
the wind blows all directions
and i doubt it has a choice
but you can hear the difference
in the music of each voice
.
the wind that's blowing from the west
sings tunes of wild frontiers
of cowboy's ringing six guns
and the native's tribal tears
.
the wind that's blowing from the east
a thunder that had boomed
in lands of ancient wonder
where fierce dragons once had loomed
.
the wind that's blowing from the south
it whistles dixie, son
and speaks about a civil war
where liberty was won
.
the song that thrills me most of all
when it is issued forth
contains the voice of you, my love
my sweet girl from the north
