Alle Kind 10/27/89 Upland Farm, Holliston MA

Would God that I were as Adam, who knew alle animals by name;
Who called them kind, and they were known to him.

Would God I were by leaf and tree; that bare the bud and the fruit
Home for flocks and hive and alle kind who came

Would God that I could be
All I was meant to be

Come there soon a Day
Be it soon!
Come there soon a Great Rising Day
For alle life that pines
For alle trees that sigh
For alle doves that mourn
For alle sheep that cry
For me
For thee;
A Dancing Day
Far above the Doom

Would God that I be as Adam was meant to be
Who knew alle kind by name
That I could call them all the same
My lot, my charge, my heart
Be tame and walk with me
And lonely, never be
But dancing
Singing, with a Catikin singing, with Ivory Tusk,
Singing, with a Shaggy Bison Cow,
Singing, with a Sea Horse, alle kind

I know there be One
By whom I be formed; in whom alle kind
We be kin
And like that One,
Would God that I become
