When the First Tree fell
The mountains all broke out in tears
And they washed down the slopes
Forming an ocean fierce

The branches all snapped when
The great trunk smote the ground
And the fragments were scattered
So that they never be found
And when the tree was uprooted
A great ravine opened up
It swallowed the killer
Who down the tree had cut



When the Second Tree fell
A great fire broke out
And it burned all the animals
Their cries were heard clear and loud

The night sky was blazing
As the flames danced around
All the beasts tried to flee, but
They were all hunted down
The embers were flying
Setting all things alight
And so nothing escaped them
Until the last one died



When the Third Tree fell
The gold leaves conjured up a storm
Which blew all things away
Until no thing remained

The wind carried the ashes
Far out into the sea
All the waters turned grey
Poison no one could heal
And then the ravine swallowed the ocean
It closed up as if nothing had been
And later on that same spot were growing
Three young saplings green
