The Forest Loves to Play Her Game

[jonvandalen]

The forest loves to play her game
From mountain pool to silver stream
Not again to be the same

As morning light lays its claim
As the lake shines its golden gleam
The forest loves to play her game

Her creatures walk with steady aim
Mountains, too, as still they seem
Not again to be the same

I walk with them in quiet rain
Falling soft on treetops green
The forest loves to play her game

So it was before I came
So it’s been from time unseen
The forest loves to play her game
Not again to be the same
