61. ONE DAY

Repose Teutonic heart

Beside tumbling mountain cascade

And pause to listen to the universe

Within your womb

Where a child has existed only one day

And already he is calling

Telling you he is coming

Already you have heard his voice

In your heart

So much to think about!

The rapids like ten thousand

Chorus voices around your ears

All talking at once

From their hearts

Birth is so precious

And here is the gift given

In these mountains

In these waters

In this summer

What a sacred place

To be so blessed.
