O Breeze! How friendly you are!

And my mind you seize!


Every leaf rises to swing

And rings a melody,

Leaves tending twigs and boughs

Whisper in you and me,

'O Man, will you not step on to swing?'

In their troupe of green gold, I spread my wing,

And discover a theme, age old.


Hand in hand, they swing,

Step by step, they flourish like a musical ring,

In the echoing rhythm of their steps,

Sound a musical hustle and bustle

And they greet every soul, still and alive,

We forget, we disobey, we trespass

Every line and every boundary, manmade,

And join the chorus

And we restore us.
