Never
I've never seen the
setting sun
Go down beyond the ocean
blue
The sea extinguishing
the flames
To end the day; bring
night anew
I've never seen a blade
of grass
First poke its head
out of the earth
The tiny fresh first
green of life
Encountering its point
of birth
I've never seen the
morning dew
First fall in beads
upon the ground
Those first clear drops
of day's first light
To cast a shine on all
around
I've never seen the
face of wind
Nor seen the top of
endless sky
I've never seen a forest
laugh
I've never seen a sparrow
cry
