As I Walk in Beauty

In beauty, may I walk

All day long, may I walk

Through the returning seasons, may I walk

 

Beauty will I possess again

Beautiful birds...

Beautiful joyful birds...

 

On the trail marked with pollen, may I walk

With grasshoppers about my feet, may I walk

With dew about my feet, may I walk

 

With beauty, may I walk

With beauty before me, may I walk

With beauty behind me, may I walk

With beauty above me, may I walk

With beauty all around me, may I walk

 

In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty

lively, may I walk

In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty

living again, may I walk

 

If it is finished in beauty

It is finished in beauty

It is finished in beauty
