Defense of the tree

Why do you give yourself over to that stone
Almond-eyed kid
With the impure thought
Of spilling it into the tree
Who never do harm to anyone
He does not deserve such a bad treat
Whether pensive willow
Or melancholy orange tree
It should always be by the man
Well distinguished and respected:
Ill-intentioned child who hurts
Hurts his father and his brother.
I do not understand, sincerely,
How can a boy
Keep this gesture as unworthy
Being so fair and delicate
Surely your mother
Doesn’t know the raven she has raised,
Who thinks of you as a real man
I think the opposite:
I think there’s no throughout Chile
Child as malicious
Why do you give yourself over to that stone
Like a poisoned dagger
You clearly understand
The great person who is the tree
He gives the delicious fruit
More than milk, more than the nard;
Gold firewood in the winter
Silver shadow in summer
And what is more than all together,
Create the winds and birds
Think about it and recognize
There is no friend like a tree,
Wherever you come
You’ll always find it by your side
Either going steping firm ground
Or moving rough sea
Either you be rocking yourself in the cradle
Or one day dying
More faithful than the mirror glass
And more submissive than a slave
Meditate a little what you do
Behold, God is watching you
Ask God to forgive you
In such a serious sin
And never again the ungrateful stone
Goes whistling out of your hand
