  OAK AND MAYFLY
  Growing, stretching, widening, craving
  Towered past in a mighty crown
  
  Flying, gliding, dancing, living
  Thousands of moments in blissful play
  
  Flying, gliding, dancing, living
  - and die
  
  Rustling leaves:
  Good night, good night
  Poor little mayfly, too short a life
  
  Singing winds:
  Good night, old oak, there falls a leaf
  Stretch and fly!
  
  Growing, widening
  A wonderful dream
  A moment forever in the Kingdom of God  less
