Rural revery by Jay Orff

lyrics

Nib bee the ground with your shy and envied teeth
Look to the sky and blare out a meaningless song
Last afternoon panic
Tendless kids are you all

The August light comes high in the air and sees autumn
A cap in the wind and a horn in the sky where it falls
Recline in the valley of hazel
Burning the evening shawl

And I don't know where you're going
But you're all at my dispatch
From the tops of the hills and the hooves on the ground
You kick up the dust and battle my wish for a calm goatherd

Do you dream of the coming passion of winter
Do you shiver at the thought of the end of the fall
Across the sky shoots a soldier
Good luck, goodnight and goodbye

And I don't know where you're going
But you're all at my dispatch
From the tops of the hills and the hooves on the ground
You kick up the dust and battle my wish for a calm goatherd
