lyrics

Godspeed, frontyard azaleas blooming
one day at a time, and I'm still trying
to learn your culture and your dress

Make way, you centipede grass, for a carpetbed
of clover, and make straight the paths
for wild and for tame

It's a return
This wicked world
Made new

It's a return
This weary world
Made new

You pollen-heavy
gum trees, drop your seeds and lift
your arms; I'll turn my ear toward
a song for sturdy limbs. Wren at dawn,

you called me to your crib, your clumsy tongue
attempting all the songs that we forget
when we learn words

It's a return
This wicked world
Made new

It's a return
This weary world
Made new

Now come forth,
you daylight hours -- I brought coffee, she
a blanket, and her eyes have never seen
the spring arrive or fall away

(Bowers)
