all the wondering should wonder no more
carpe diem betwixt life's endeavours
float a skiff, a raft, a steamboat
through pendulous waters and a steep shore
all the wondering should vex ignore
rush when love calls
and not run when to walk is better

and show love to all that matter

Music starts my little church
And bids us goers "come forward" -
Timid and cleansing at first -
Bringing voices to one accord
