Brother Sun

How shall I worship thee
O Brother Sun?
I would fill my soul with thee,
And thus become
A part of thee, and feel
Myself in thee.
I would dance,
I would laugh,
I would sing
For thee.
I would gather the harvest
Of my life and give
The fruits to thee.
I would gather the sorrow
Of my years, and give
My tears to thee.
I would gather the joys
Of my youth, and give
My love to thee.
O Brother Sun
How shall I worship thee?

—S.G.M.
