Water flows across the forest floor
Slicking the moss and pebbles and earth
We dart above the shimmering surface
Shooting winks and diving for the minnows
We can't normally sing but today
We produce such a tune that the
Cardinals and sparrows and blue jays all listen
To our duet in C major
And even the wind stops stirring up
The clouds in the sky so as not to interrupt
For 3 days we soar and swoop and sing
And it could make up for 50 years
Slicking the moss and pebbles and earth
We dart above the shimmering surface
Shooting winks and diving for the minnows
We can't normally sing but today
We produce such a tune that the
Cardinals and sparrows and blue jays all listen
To our duet in C major
And even the wind stops stirring up
The clouds in the sky so as not to interrupt
For 3 days we soar and swoop and sing
And it could make up for 50 years

The last 2 lines are a reference to a John Keats poem, "I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
