A Summer's Moment

The call of the Lark
 And the Red-Winged Blackbird
          The rustle of grass
        Over my left shoulder
                      And
                 Before us
          The rippling brook
       The shimmering trees
                      And
     The depth of you silence
                   As you
              Not far away
       Think on other things

     This I take back with me
      To the noise of the city

O Men

The day is coming
When the gates will close
To those not purified
Of destructive thought

It is time
To be thy neighbors loving friend


The day is coming
The heart already knows
When tears will be cried
And time cannot be bought

For it is time
To change before the coming end
