Roll onward, blue mountains, 'till I see no more,
Roll onward your valleys to some unseen shore;
The Sun shining warmly does beckon us all
To sip summer's nectar and hearken her call.
Be still, placid waters, the vent of the day
Comes quick to bestir with a ruffling spray;
Then moments of quiet so lucid and clear
Must sink to the depths of your roiling mere.
You swallows, sing brightly and welcome the dawn,
You cardinals and blackbirds, sing twittering on;
Yet sing not so loud you disturb the sweet rest
Embracing these valleys and soothing my breast.
Pass softly, you zephyrs, across these blue hills,
Pass softly and hear how the universe trills,
How everything joins in harmonious song;
Pass softly, you heralds of change, you belong.
Roll onward, blue mountains, 'till I see no more,
You winds, carry onward to some unseen shore
These verses; enjoin them to life's endless stream,
To live, though this moment must pass like a dream.
