She justly claims a song from me.
It’s been so long since that sweet day,
Her loving-kindness oh how free.
The stars in distant harmony,
With Sun and Moon in Virgo’s way,
She justly claims a song from me.
My callow eyes then had to see,
Chalk and dinosaurs away,
Her loving-kindness oh how free.
Our adolescent agony:
For her there was no joyful lay,
She justly claims a song from me.
Our years have gone to seventy,
And I will soon be on my way;
Her loving-kindness oh how free.
From mountain pass she blesses me.
Here down on earth, what can I say?
She justly claims a song from me,
Her loving-kindness oh how free.
