Awakening

And all shall fade
The flowers of spring
The world and all the sorrow
At the heart of everythingBut still it stays
The butterfly sings
And opens purple summer
With the flutter of its wingsThe earth will wave with corn
The gray-fly choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne
And all shall know the wonder of purple summerAnd yet I wait
The swallow brings
A song too hard to follow
That no one else can singThe fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander, murmuringThe earth will wave with corn
The gray-fly choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borneAnd all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer
All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer
All shall know the wonder of purple summer
