I do not remember Acacia trees from my childhood in Czernowitz.
I remember a tall pear tree, which grew near our home.
The tree is gone, but one of its descendants is alive and well
Growing out of the pavement on the former Schmidtgasse,
About 100 meters from my first home.
The German song here adapted by Hardy, is not a bout Acacia,
But about white lilac: "Wenn der weißer Flieder wieder blüht".
