voluntary decree

in clarity of noon the forest glows
we listen as the leaves begin to fall
and see in proper place a single rose

we got our answer rightly on the nose
the world we found out now is very small
in clarity of noon the forest glows

there is no reason for the gate to close
you note the light upon the garden wall
and see in proper place a single rose

praise of the moment would seem grandiose
there is so much that we have to recall
in clarity of noon the forest glows

this is no time for slumber or repose
you have to set things up within the hall
and see in proper place a single rose

now is the time for one who thinks he knows
the meaning of the days when they are tall
in clarity of noon the forest glows
and see in proper place a single rose
