2Hosts to species long since departed,
3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into
102Your brother's face, your country
103And say simply
104Very simply
105With hope
106Good morning.

2Hosts to species long since departed,
3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day

2Hosts to species long since departed,
3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out

2Hosts to species long since departed,
3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into
102Your brother's face, your country
103And say simply
104Very simply
105With hope
106Good morning.

2Hosts to species long since departed,
3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into
102Your brother's face, your country
103And say simply
104Very simply
105With hope
106Good morning.

4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into

4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into

3Marked the mastodon,
4The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
5Of their sojourn here
6On our planet floor,
7Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
8Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
9But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.

10Come, you may stand upon my
11Back and face your distant destiny,
12But seek no haven in my shadow.
13I will give you no more hiding place down here.
14You, created only a little lower than
15The angels, have crouched too long in
16The bruising darkness,
17Have lain too long
18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day

18Face down in ignorance.
19Your mouths spilling words
20Armed for slaughter.
21The Rock cries out today, you may stand on me,
22But do not hide your face.
23Across the wall of the world,
24A River sings a beautiful song,
25Come rest here by my side.
26Each of you a bordered country,
27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.

74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon

79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.

83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.

27Delicate and strangely made proud,
28Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
29Your armed struggles for profit
30Have left collars of waste upon
31My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
32Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
33If you will study war no more. Come,
34Clad in peace and I will sing the songs
35The Creator gave to me when I and the
36Tree and the stone were one.
37Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your
38Brow and when you yet knew you still
39Knew nothing.
40The River sings and sings on.
41There is a true yearning to respond to
42The singing River and the wise Rock.
43So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew
44The African and Native American, the Sioux,
45The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
46The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
47The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
48The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
49They hear. They all hear
50The speaking of the Tree.
51Today, the first and last of every Tree
52Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
53Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River.
54Each of you, descendant of some passed
55On traveller, has been paid for.
56You, who gave me my first name, you
57Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, you
58Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
59Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
60Other seekers--desperate for gain,
61Starving for gold.
62You, the Turk, the Swede, the German, the Scot ...
63You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
64Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
65Praying for a dream.
66Here, root yourselves beside me.
67I am the Tree planted by the River,
68Which will not be moved.
69I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
70I am yours--your Passages have been paid.
71Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
72For this bright morning dawning for you.
73History, despite its wrenching pain,
74Cannot be unlived, and if faced
75With courage, need not be lived again.
76Lift up your eyes upon
77The day breaking for you.
78Give birth again
79To the dream.
80Women, children, men,
81Take it into the palms of your hands.
82Mold it into the shape of your most
83Private need. Sculpt it into
84The image of your most public self.
85Lift up your hearts
86Each new hour holds new chances
87For new beginnings.
88Do not be wedded forever
89To fear, yoked eternally
90To brutishness.
91The horizon leans forward,
92Offering you space to place new steps of change.
93Here, on the pulse of this fine day
94You may have the courage
95To look up and out upon me, the
96Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
97No less to Midas than the mendicant.
98No less to you now than the mastodon then.
99Here on the pulse of this new day
100You may have the grace to look up and out
101And into your sister's eyes, into
102Your brother's face, your country
103And say simply
104Very simply
105With hope
106Good morning.
