(hold) u u
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.
A 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.
The 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 and gathers itself with a yawn,
And winks to the sun: away, but never gone.
*Whistling and humming*)
All o'er the world, as it turns and it turns,
the stars twinkle off and dawn,
And we come and go: away, but never gone.
Enjoy!
