A home in the woods
I walked in the quiet
woods
Where very few ever
roam
And there amongst the
towering trees
I made my soul a home
The blue sky was my
ceiling
The trees my pillars
and walls
The leaves my living
carpet
And the roots were my
floor
The sun was my lamp
in the day
The moon and stars by
night
The running brook was
my playmate
Its song filled me
with delight
The birds in the air
were my wind chimes
Singing when the day
was clear
The ferns my stairs
to wonders
Everywhere far and
near
The wind was my sweet
refresher
My story teller in
disguise
The creatures my
daily companions
Rising with me at
sunrise
Yes, I walked in the
woods one day
And a sweet home I did
find
For though my body
departed
I left my heart and
soul behind
