I heard the laughter of the trees
I heard them laughing endlessly
I walked with my eyes hanging down
I thought they were laughing at me
Was it in a dream in which I heard?
All in my mind, all in mind
And though I walked on, I could not
Leave my loneliness behind
Who can forget the laughter?
Who can forget the trees?
Who, who saw them swaying
Laughing, laughing at me?
And as I walked I saw the leaves
Fall like dying stars below
Across my eyes, across my soul
I felt a wind begin to blow
And was all silent in the sky
And all was still just as the sea
Only, only as I cried
The trees were laughing endlessly
Who can forget the laughter?
Who can forget the trees?
Who, who saw them swaying
Laughing, laughing at me?
