The Melody On a Flowery Tree – Ii

GIRL:
Daddy! Daddy!
What does it require?
To sing such a melody
As you hear my birds
Sing on a flowery tree
Of whom the Priest tells
Even Mom & everyone!

DAD:
You do hear & wonder
So does Mom as she danced
O Child! so does all the world
Swept in a sea of violence
Not hearing each other’s voice
Not seeing each other’s face
So all dwells in a rapt clog.
