In this world of song and flight
Of ancient stones and ancient light
I hear the singing of dust and trees
Of waves that roll across blue seas
These deep rhythms of life and time
That echo through my heart in rhyme
Mingle in the fresh cool air
Linger in this soul now bare
These mornings of such sweet soft light
Bearing an intimacy of natural sight
When all creation bends to show
The web of life we all can know
These simple ways of mother earth
Make simple days of noble worth
Their melodies twist between the lines
And all the earth and sky align
