On overnight excursions
Into nature's deepest coves
When the only others are
Gulls, deer, coyote, and doves
When the only sound of night
Goes cheep, cheep, cheep
And the chorus sings and sings
Until I fall asleep
When the only blossoms are
Wild, random, and free
When the finch and the sparrow
Are calling out to me
That's when I know
I'm serenely in my place
Among the highest evolved
Of the natural race
