Water Rocks and Ripples

Water rocks and ripples,
By the stream of seasons past,
The endless night has darkened,
Yet by only shadows cast,

For when the sun that set by day,
Strung moonbeams up above,
The ripples on the water,
Flow in circles endless love,

Be with the stars of midnight breeze,
Be present with the lake,
A forward blast beyond-ward,
Let it come for heaven's sake,

When present past and future merge,
In unity unsung,
The whole wide world is watching,
For the final chime has rung.
