The Sycamore tree has been cut down,
The Acer pseudoplatanus tree has fallen.
Cut down in a moment of madness and rage,
The iconic tree lies broken on its earthly stage.
The Sycamore tree stood at Hadrian’s Wall,
In the gap, it stood, strong, bold and tall.
Robin Hood stood at the tree in a movie scene,
A powerful moment on the silver screen.
The cut stump stands now at the gap,
Remnants of the majestic Sycamore tree.
A part of English heritage is now destroyed,
That strong presence is now part of history.
The sycamore cut down at Hadrian’s Wall,
Still stands majestic, awesome and tall,
In the hearts and minds of the hundreds of public,
Who mourned at the tree, during the pandemic.
The Spirit of the Sycamore tree,
Will shine for all time at the gap in the wall.
Life, history and humanity may come and go,
As a new tree finds its roots, to once again grow.
