Adonai

I see man put an end to starlight,
Moving mountains
Underneath the earth:
Fire and blackness

Even dust turns to gold,
Adonai

Man puts his hand to the flinty rock,
Dams the stream
His eye sees every precious thing
Adonai
Adonai
O Adonai

Oh, my eye caught a flicker in the eaves
Wind singing to me with the feathers and the leaves
Moss on the bones of an oak tree
Fiber wove through all that be
O Adonai, O Adonai, O Adonai

O holy grove of the rhododendron
Looking like a child for a secret emblem
Wild enough to keep us guessing
O Adonai, O Adonai, O Adonai

Our brother William
Slipped through the nightshade
Marveler once and always
I know you saw his face
