Torn from head to limb
Strength not enough to fight 
Hope lost in transition
Hands stretching to climb
To a pinnacle of reverence

stretching out alone
where have my children gone

Endless hills sprawl on and on, 
Stretching horizon to horizon,

Here comes the dawn,
The hills sprawl on, 

And bend in breezes to the sun.

Raising the left from floor slight 
Stretching arms straight 
Closing both eyes tight

my love and I watched springtime
arrive in fields of
