| | From “Summer Phases”
THIS is the Sabbath Day. | |
| I keep it my own way. | |
| I do not need to go to church to pray. | |
| |
| Feeling and being me | |
| Is good as good can be. | 5 |
| I claim my own identity. | |
| |
| I am as happy as a flower | |
| Perfuming its one hour | |
| With a sweet sense of power. | |
| |
| I am unfettered as a bee | 10 |
| That cleaves a tiny path, but free, | |
| Choosing an orange-blossoming tree. | |
| |
| Making my honey as it does, | |
| I feel as holy as saint ever was. | |
| This is my perfume, prayer and buzz. | 15 | | | |
