Trees personify emotion

Just like a willow
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion

This is a stanza from "It's Now or Never," immortalized by Elvis in 1960. It uses the figure and physiology of a weeping willow tree to convey the potential heartache that would follow the loss of newly-kindled and long-awaited love.

Here's an interesting anacdote: the bichemicals released from a weeping willow have been reported to produce feelings of euphoria to those resting beneath them on sunny days. That seems like an appropriate place to go to cry and feel better. Let us know if you have any related experiences.
