There is no greenwood tree

Missing image
Under the greenwood tree,
There is nobody,
Except a pair of birds,
In P.B Shelley’s words,
“HAIL to thee, blithe Spirit!
Bird thou never wert,
That from Heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.”
Ah who will sing? in spring,
All those merry notes,
When heart is filled with grief,
The world is full of smoke,
Of bombs and of grenades,
People dying all around,
Helpless innocent folk,
I am all alone,
Under the greenwood tree,
Is there nobody?
Help me!
Please help me!!

Please tell me what you think

    Interesting. I loved the Archaic English that you fused into this work, along with your already very well articulated vocabulary, symbolism, and imagery, all coming together to form a beautifully written piece of literature.
