lyrics

Forage through the oldest things
Sleeping in the third drawer down
Wake them gently with your hands
Nurse them back to fullest health

Etienne Francois came here on a boat
With his wife, with willow in a potato
Justine Rose, she planted the trees
On the banks of the Avon –
They are still there!

Oh, you willow, how dost thou grow?
Lifted from Napoleon’s grave
And into the earth beneath our feet...

Bon voyage!
