Lyrics:

Yew tree broad with your roots down deep

Standing guard over winter's sleep

Many lifetimes passing, you live on

Sacred yew tree, enduring strong



A lovely singer of mine asked if I knew any songs about yew trees. I didn't, though I'm sure there are some wonderful ones! This is my simple two part winter song, referencing the longevity and protective qualities that led our ancestors to believe yew trees to be sacred.

This song struck me as special and also useful. And so I learned it, which was fun and then taught it to a group I was covering. These days I don’t need other people’s songs, but this one crept in. Been singing it on and off ever since! Feels half medieval, half Appalachian. Thank you!
