How Can I Keep From Singing

The Joy of Being cannot stop singing
     love's old sweet song
As it bubbles up from limitless Mind;
     "When true simplicity is gained. . .
       Joy and Delight. . .Turning, Turning. . .
       We come down right."





Thanks to Shaker song, "Tis a Gift to Be Simple."
