Nature Songs (2020)

[EXERPTS FROM THE LYRICS]

1. HUMAN SEA – K.M. Stoeten-Verbeek 
Black and blue and white
dark and bright
growling, singing
long fingers stretching....................

2. WIND ON THE HILL – A.A. Milne 
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes....................

3. SPELLBOUND – Emily Bronte
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go...................

4. NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY – Robert Frost 
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour........................

5. THE ENGLISH LANE – Jack Hickman 
I know a quiet English lane
A-greening in the Spring,
Where shining celandines proclaim
The earth’s awakening,
And there among the hazel wands,
I hear the chiffchaff sing..................................
