If Earth sings
What song would she sound?
A last lament
For wilderness lost
And dying coral seas?
The strident anthem
Of human industry
And Science’s advance?
A joyful dance
For each mother’s love
And hopeful birth?
Or bitter cries
For suffering man
Of hunger, thirst and war?
If Earth sings
Her complex song
Tells of these and more
The music swells
As if to say
Regard this Earth with awe
