Your Leafy Voice See base text
Language: English
May I who so loved woodlands, Where my body goes back to nourish grasses, The nettle and rose, Find your hand outstretched to guide My bewildered spirit back, Down the path of the wind, And the blinding zodiac, To some wooded hillside slope Such as now I see, And crying in your leafy voice, Open sesame! Bid my homing spirit Welcome to a tree
