The Child of the Wind
Shadows of the world's own past
 Of beauty and of peaceful tranquility
 Sing of loss and sorrow, of sacrilege.
 Their tears fall down like rain
 Rain that burns where it falls.
 
 In the distance
 One Song overshadows them all.
 
 Oh young loner! you wail.
 Why do you weep?
 You are beautiful
 And have a whole life to spend.
 
 I weep for my loved ones
 All crossed over
 Their songs of joy forgotten.
 
 I weep for the loss of the world-
 For it lives now in death.
 
 The blossoms of the wild earth
 And smells of the purest variety
 Have died.
 Have been forgotten.
 Indeed, they have never been known to you.
 
 And you, child-
 I weep for your limitations.
 Though your heart is pure and moral
 You are dissuaded from action.
 You believe that you are powerless to heal
 And to fight injustice
 Caught as you are in a web of lies
 And of decadence.
 
 Thus says I-
 The Child of the Wind.
