LEAVES AND WATER ON THE ROCKS

Leaves and water on the rocks
A hillside down by day
At night the weavers take their turn
Enchanted by the bay

For see not their reflection
But the waters turning gold
For what becomes of sunsets
When the heartbeat shivers cold

Like ringlets through the ages
Are the loops of crystals' time
For what remains is now undone
The bells toll now will chime

Like stardust will the mountains be
And stairs like valleys still
The ancient sunset now is done
And warm now does the chill

Like ringlets through the ages
Are the loops of crystals' time
For what remains is now undone
The bells toll now will chime

Like stardust will the mountains be
And stairs like valleys still
The ancient sunset now is done
And warm now does the chill
