METHUSELAH
©Gary Bowman Methuselah, Methuselah On barren mount, In air so thin Methuselah, Methuselah You stood your ground in, Bitter cold and wind Oh, that I could see, This ancient living tree This long-lived Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Methuselah, Methuselah 5,000 years you’ve lived, Methuselah Methuselah, Methuselah With gnarled roots and limbs, Your long life unfolds Methuselah, Methuselah With every healed scar, Your story is told Oh, that I could see, This ancient living tree This long-lived Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Methuselah, Methuselah 5,000 years you’ve lived, Methuselah 5,000 years you’ve lived, Methuselah |
