Lay we down our cares and wonder
here in starlight, clouds and thunder
as this old world tries to pull us under
Yet we escape their passion's plunder

For we are the lovers of nature deep
Who pass into an unknown keep
and read the hearts of all who weep
in the phases of their sleep

The winter wind washes eyes in snow
As words of ancient wisdom flow
The moonlight shines on all that grows
and sunlight reveals the little we know

The door it beckons us fly away
to hear the call of another day
when we will breathe at brighter shores
and never return to fear and storms
