Bade Mother Nature At the Dawn
Bade Mother Nature at the dawn
Bring forth the trees, grow tall, grow tall
Beneath them lay a gentle fawn
Being sheltered, waits for night to fall.

Her keys are where she left them.
She sweeps them up as she throws
her purse across her

With Manacles, I Bade
and your servant knows well
riches of awe had he none to tell
but thy servant has only one thing to bade:

and from afar meanly you installed
