Once within a withered time
There somewhat lived a tired man
Who counted his little losses
By piling up the lonely leaves
Clumped around the roots
Of some very rude old trees
Still growing despite all odds
Deep in the deep green heart
Of an odd and ancient wood.
When his losses grew too deep
The wild west wind rushed in
And scattered them to itself
Leaving only roots and silence.
