And if robbed of my tail, I’m a beautiful fruit,
Behead me —I care very little for that,

What sort of a creature pray then shall I be ?
Why an organ is all you will find left of me.

A sentinel’s signal that all is not right.

When the sapling has grown to a flourishing tree,
It finds a protector henceforward in me.
