lyrics

The moon shines bright and the stars give a light
A little before the day
Our Green, Our Heart, it called on us
And bid us to act and stay!

Awake, Awake! good people all,
Awake and you shall hear,
The Earth, our Mom, dies below us,
For us whom she loved so dear!

The fields were green as green could be,
When from Her glorious seat,
Our Bread, our Lungth, she watered us,
With Her heavenly dew so sweet.

And for the saving of our souls
Planet before the loss,
We ne'er shall do for our Mom,
As she has done for us.

The life of man is but a span,
And cut down in its flower,
We are here today, and tomorrow gone,
We are all dead in an hour.

O pray teach your children, man
The while that you are here;
It will be better for your souls,
When your corpse lies on the bier.

Today you may be alive, human
Worth many a thousand pound;
Tomorrow may be dead, dear man,
And your body be laid under ground.

With one turf at your head,
O man, And another at your feet;
Thy good deeds and thy bad, O man,
Will all together meet.

The moon shines bright and the snow falls down
A little before the day
Our Green, Our Heart, it's our last town,
To vouch for natures last say!
