about

The poet Pavel Friedmann imprisoned in Theresienstadt and the diarist Anne Frank hidden in Amsterdam both beheld chestnut trees and praised the beauty and solace of nature in their writings.

lyrics

Pavel Friedmann and Anne Frank
Drew comfort from a tree
A private avenue, aligned
Alone, majestic, free

Amsterdam, Theresienstadt
Two loved the sturdy limbs
In simple words they lauded them
And penned their private hymns

Anne’s horse chestnut dressed the yard
In shades of leafy green
Painted birds in bluest skies
Traced what life had been

Enfolding arms of open air
Envisioned, stilled her fear
Solace for the suffering
Dewdrop for the tear

No ghetto hosted butterflies
But Pavel praised the bright
Yellow-fingered dandelions
Climbing branches white

Chestnut shoulders, boyhood spells
Aloft where sentries played
Grateful for familiar things
Fortresses of shade

Amsterdam, Theresienstadt
Two loved the sturdy limbs
In simple words they lauded them
And penned their private hymns

Pavel Friedmann and Anne Frank
Drew comfort from a tree
A private avenue, aligned
Alone, majestic, free

Oh, alone, majestic, free
