A girl with a letter

With a letter in her hand,
She sat on a trunk
Of a tree,
Her eyes looking far off
To some distant land,
Perhaps there she might have woven
Her dreams,

With a letter in her hand,
She sat on a trunk
Of  a tree,
Her eyes way off
To some distant land,
Perhaps there she had gone away.
