Follow the Heron |
| The back of the winter is broken |
| And light lingers long by the door |
| And the seeds of the summer have spoken |
| In gowans that bloom on the shore |
| By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play |
| And delight as the dawn dances over the bay |
| Sleep blows the breath of the morning away |
| And we follow the heron home |
| In darkness we cradled our sorrow |
| And stoked all our fires with fear |
| Now these bones that lie empty and hollow |
| Are ready for gladness to cheer |
| By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play |
| And delight as the dawn dances over the bay |
| Sleep blows the breath of the morning away |
| And we follow the heron home |
| Long may you sing of the salmon |
| And the snow-scented sounds of your home |
| While the north wind delivers its sermon |
| Of ice and salt water and stone |
| By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play |
| And delight as the dawn dances over the bay |
| Sleep blows the breath of the morning away |
| And we follow the heron home |
| By night and day we’ll sport and we’ll play |
| And delight as the dawn dances over the bay |
| Sleep blows the breath of the morning away |
| And we follow the heron home |
| And we follow the heron home |
