Out in the trees, dirt on our knees   We laid him down forever   And on that hill there it was still   As in the ever after      He lays his rest we knew it best   To lay him down so gently   And now he sleeps where moss does creep   And no more is he with me      The birds did cry, and so did i   To think of life so lonely   And in their song I heard it long   What sadness, and what beauty   Your friend is gone, but you live on   In life you loved him fully   But now little streams and forests dream   And all is made more holy
