Let Them Be Found by
Jane Kozhevnikova
In the silence of a lonely night And in birds’ cheerful morning sounds, There are sights of those Departed from the Earth. Let them be found.
In the stories that someone told And in snow laying on the ground, They always stay, They’re never getting old Let them be found.
In summer winds, in trembling leaves, they live, In cherry’s blossom, in winter’s frost, Let them be found. They are never lost.
In the twilight of a joyful day And in storms ravaging the South, In the strings of rain, in the beaming rays, Let them be found.
Let them be found
In mountains and fields, Let them be found
In children’s laughter, In sprouting seeds, Let them be found. If there is something after, Let them be found.
In the sounds, in the silence, Let them be found.
