|
Beneath some shaded planet |
|
Before this earth was born |
|
We came together |
|
And we danced in the early dawn |
|
For my hands contain ten dances |
|
That shall bear us into the night |
|
Into the sea |
|
And the moon's morning light |
|
Night mimed a bow and broke into the day |
|
Fair sailors and their cautious friends |
|
Smiled on the sea |
|
That reflected all their gazes |
|
And danced with the air |
|
The breezes filled the sails |
|
High against the quay |
|
High on the limpid waves the ship it did fly |
|
Rising as a condor into the silvery sky |
|
Passing through the arches that begin his earth |
|
The sailors saw the scenic air |
|
As air gave Earth it's birth |
|
Gazing ahead towards today |
|
They saw the fields of this world |
|
They watched the first new dancers |
|
As their bodies did unfurl |
