Great White Egret

 Come spread your white wings

About my rusty springs

Oh Egret of the Sandy lands

Up here in migrant fare


Come be blown like a sack cloth

Pure white as a snow flake, sin-free

Come spread your angel wings

About me, sit in my Ash tree


Come burn a white hot flame

Down by the cold black lake

And write in your smoke signals

The message of my mistake


You are my guardian Angel

You take away my pain

I pray to you Great Egret

Far off in the beating rain
