• Did you hear? Did you hear?
    The willow trees sighed
    As they watched a lonely fisherman walk on by
    Did you know? Did you know?
    The north wind said
    As it blew the hat off the fisherman’s head
    Did you see? Did you see?
    The mountains pined
    As the fisherman threw in a baited line
    Did you feel? Did you feel?
    The raindrops cried
    As the strong brewing winds slowly died
    Did you smell? Did you smell?
    The grasses moaned
    As the fisherman packed up to go back home
    Won’t you help? Won’t you help?
    The fireflies wailed
    As the fisherman tried to anchor but failed
    Have you tried? Have you tried?
    The stars did ask
    As the fisherman despaired, his emotion a mask
    Have I known? Have I known?
    Mother earthed groaned
    As she helped the fisherman sail back home.
