A Small and Simple Song

A Small and Simple Song

 

I'm of the easy, the gentler kind,

No counter of time as old Earth turns,

No twister of fate for the willfully blind;

My path's clear where the fair light burns.

 

I sing a small and simple song,

Lifted high by humble meter;

Largo textures, placid and strong:

A steady beat's all the sweeter.

 

The rhythm of my waking days

Is the song of the simple life,

Where clamour fades as freedom stays,

And Cavatina on the fife.

Thank you M.C. !

I have always loved Stanley Myers' superb and all too brief guitar fragment he called "Cavatina",

My eyes mist over whenever I hear it.
