Let Me Be

Lay me here, and leave me nigh,

Among the hills and mountains high,

Upon the grass, so soft, so sweet

Just let the warm wind be my sheet

Lay me here, beside the falls and stream

Where things are more that what they seem

Lay me here, beneath the stars,

Let me converse with the Lady Luna, Neptune and Mars

Lay me here, let me listen

To the water, which shimmers and glistens

Leave me here, to be alone,

Where silence speaks

And the river creaks

Where the wind teaches my hair to dance,

Where the swirling water lulls me into a deep, thoughtful, trance

Leave me alone, and let me be

Purely, freely, simply,

Me.
