Cai cay chang he tranh dau
Khong khi, anh sang, bau troi
Cu dung im tren dong dat
Chia nhau nhung hat mua roi
Chang thanh cay rung dai thu
Chi nhu bui bam tren doi

Mot nguoi chang he kho so
Thu loi canh tac dat minh
Chang he chien thang de co
Khong khi, anh sang, troi xanh
Tu nhien vo tu ma song
Khong lam duoc nguoi hung anh

Go tot lon len chang de
Gio ca cay cang phai to
Bao giong cang nen tru vung
Troi xa than phai vuon cao
Trai qua nang, mua, gia, tuyet
Nguoi nen, go tot ben lau

Noi cay moc day rung ram
Se co nhung cay vuot len
Ban be cung voi tinh tu
Nhanh gay con nguyen vet han
Xung dot voi nhieu tran gio
Day la quy luat tu nhien.

GOOD TIMBER
By Douglas Malloch

The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.

The man who never had to toil
To gain and farm his patch of soil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.

Good timber does not grow with ease,
The stronger wind, the stronger trees,
The further sky, the greater length,
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
In trees and men good timbers grow.

Where thickest lies the forest growth
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.
