The moon's on its way to its nightly shift
|
The frogs fill the creek below
|
The tall grass waves a farewell to the day
|
The wind moans sweet and low
|
The heron tucks his head in his wing
|
The fish in the lake float along
|
The sun sinks from sight
|
Away but never gone
|
|
The dawn brings the dew like a thousand jewels
|
A nest rustles high on a bough
|
A blue egg stays warm in the cool of the morn
|
Under a red breast of down
|
The clouds turn and stretch, the moon checks its wrist
|
gathers itself with a yawn
|
And winks to the sun
|
Away but never gone
|
|
And all o'er the world as it turns and it turns
|
the stars twinkle off and on
|
And we come and go
|
Away but never gone
|
|
