The Lord is my shepherd, Ishall not want.He maketh me to lie down ingreen pastures,

Somewhere the originalharmony must exist,Hidden somewhere in thevast wilds.In Earth's mighty firmament,In the far reaches of swirlinggalaxies,In sunshine,In a little flower, in the songof a forest,In the music of a mother'svoice,Or in teardrops -Somewhere, immortalityendures,And the original harmony willbe found.How else could it haveformedIn human hearts -Music?
