THE WAKING
Lyrics adapted from Theodore Roethke, "The Waking"

I wake to sleep, I take my waking slow
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear
I wake to sleep, take my waking slow
I learn by going where I have to go

We think by feeling, what is there to know
I feel my being dance from ear to ear
I wake to sleep, take my waking slow
I learn by going where I have to go

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the ground, I’ll walk softly there.
And wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
And learn by going where to go

Great nature has another thing to do to you and me
So won’t you take the lively air?
Wake to sleep, take your waking slow,
And lovely, learn by going where to go

The shaking keeps me steady, I should know
What falls away is always and is near
I wake to sleep, I take my waking slow
I learn by going where I have to go
I learn by going where I have to go
I learn by going
