Worldly Things

I am still attached to worldly things

Although my soul has wandered wide

And held the joys of timeless springs

With my beloved at my side.

I have seen a light come down on earth

Have looked into the eyes of God

Then realized a second birth

To walk upon the ways untrod.

And still the singers in the trees

Call me back to soil and sky

While earth's sweet music whispers, "Please,

Do not forsake my destiny."
