The day I saw the sun, the day the world and leaves run and the wind blows When frost quenches the heat of summer and blooming red of fall When stone narrows and water runs across the new dawn That day love is still and quiet I will call I will stay light and I will not stay alone. . . . It was man who hummed the first tune of freedom, green and blue and brown Who forlorn and broken continued to search the seasons and the soul Who feared the evil of the rift and the allure of brawn It was a requiem to the birth of our first role I will not abandon I will not contest . . .
