1372

all sing

you hear the voices, don’t you?

for ataraxia

it’s everywhere the sunshine

it’s up from dust the rain

the lemon is reaching

ants rise to the bud

by paddock till pudding

all chew cud

I’m the trodden path

and you must be truth’s grain

it’s snout cum beak

and paw or hoof

muddy up this scratch-a-way

carry round a roof

it’s everywhere the sunshine

it’s up from dust the rain

there’s music in the mysteries

gossip excuses for tin ear

all sing and find the tune for free

but very few will hear

it’s outwardly the leaf and reach

and hang a breeze for fruit

tip the seed all heavenward

see the green of shoot

till and build, grin, bear, care

but nowhere to begin

it’s sleep off all the world till now

then take it for a spin

tunnel down, work pioners

have a branch to root

look into hearts and souls

and see never twice the same

there’s love among the creatures

and call the clouds by name

it’s all swift wings and shadows cast

little bugs, we’re here at last

with light between the branches

and thought’s a gloried train

it’s everywhere the sunshine

it’s up from dust the rain
