Farming of Three Earths

The dark Earth that green springs forth
With grey, iron hoes dug in 
So sweet fruits are born 

Life’s Soul is the world 
Sun and moon are her farmers 
She leaps up to heaven’s heights 

The bright Church is the new Earth 
Freedom are her fruits 
Her farmer is the Light Mind
