SIMPLE GIFTS

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free.
'Tis the gift to come down
      where we ought to be.
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley
      of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend
      we shall not be ashamed.
To turn, turn
will be our delight,
'Till by turning, turning
      we come round right.
