Ancient Olive Tree, Garden of Gethsemane
Silent witness of passing time –
Tell us what you’ve seen.
Whose feet have trod above your roots –
Or shaded under your boughs green.
Tell of Legions, Crusaders, Arab Merchants –
Passing to and fro –
Tell us of the One who at night prayed there –
A long time ago.
