| Yea of all righteous acts this this is best | G |
| To plant a tree | A |

| There is an oak oh how I love that tree | A |
| Which has been thriving for a hundred years | H |
| Each day I send my blessing through the spheres | H |
| To one who gave this triple boon to me | A |
| Of growing beauty singing birds and shade | I |
| Wouldst thou win laurels that shall never fade | I |
| Go plant a tree | A |
