by Virginia Moore (1903 - 1993)

Language: English 
Little dew on a leaf
What are you? Know you grief?

Little dust on a thorn
Wherefore must we be born?

Little breath of an air
After death you blow where?

Said the dew, said the dust,
Said the blue, "We can trust."

Composition:

    Set to music by Sandor Harmati (1892 - 1936), "Answer", published 1928 [ voice and piano ], Harcourt, Brace and Co.
