Now we know the spirit OF song,
Song that is merged in the chant OF

Hand in hand as we wander along.
What should we doubt Of the years

Heart of my heart, we cannot diel
Love triumphant in flower and tree,
Every life that laughs at the sky
Tells US nothing can cease to be;
One. we are one with a song today.
One with the clover that scents the
world,
One with the Unknown. far away,
One with the stars. when earth grows
old.
Heart of my heart, we are one with
the wind.
One with the clouds that are whirled
Ger the lea,
One in many. Q broken and blind.
One as the waves are at one with
the sea.
Ayi when life seems scattered apart.
Darkens, ends as tale that is told:
One, we are one, o heart of my heart,
One still one while the world grows
old.
