I love this Earth and here make my way
Bawling bare bairn, through the ward my cries tear
And the Sun shines down on another day
Grazed knees; cut elbows; proud badges of play
Picking berries on Hill; mum’s laugh never rare
And I love this Earth and here make my way
We couple on hill grass in sun-pressed May
In the heat of love, as swifts fan the air
And the Sun shines down on another day
Another love, science, blows me away
Feynman’s a ferryman: carries me
there
And I love this Earth and here make my way
Lovers and friends exit left from life’s play
Yet flowers sill bloom; the sky is still fair
And the Sun shines down on another day
Now sad-faced black suits will have their last say
As down I go gently; soil for my hair
And I love this earth and here make my way
And the Sun shines down on another day.
