Wood -- man, spare that tree! Touch not a sin -- gle bough; In youth it shel -- ter'd
me, And I'll pro -- tect it now; 'Twas my fore -- fa -- ther's hand, That
placed it near his cot, There, wood -- man let it stand, Thy axe shall harm it not!
}

\set stanza = "2. "
That old,_fa -- mil -- iar tree, Its glo -- ry and re -- nown Are spread o'er land and
sea And would'st thou hew it down? Wood -- man for -- bear thy stroke! Cut
not its earth -- bound ties; Oh! spare that a -- ged oak, Now tow -- 'ring to the skies.
}

versethree = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "3. "
When but_an i -- dle boy, I sought its friend -- ly shade; In all their gush -- ing
joy, Here, too, my sis -- ters played; My moth -- er kiss'd me here; My
fa -- ther press'd my hand, For -- give this fool -- ish tear, But let that old oak stand!
}

versefour = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "4. "
My heart-strings 'round thee cling, Close as thy bark, old friend! Here shall the wild bird
sing, And still thy branch -- es bend. Old tree, the storm thou'lt brave, And
wood -- man leave the spot; While I've a hand to save, Thy axe shall harm it not!
