Beneath the lovely birch

Honeymakers build their nest in peace

On the Savannah, a lion licks a wounded gnu

To honor this moment, even the heavens cease

Seadrops foam, all empty human skulls

Those on the shores of Atlantis

Darwin's resurrection is witnessed
              G            Am
By turtles he used to play with

Healed and happy, she oversees
Em           G
The Mother
                           Am
The tyrant's return to the sea
