Through the Summer Haze
Lonely oil face on the canvas,
 Trapped forever in a gaze,
 Of a heart forever tainted,
 Wand'ring through the summer haze
 
 And the soul that seems embodied there,
 The soul that never changes,
 It reminds the fragile body how
 It weakens and it ages
 
 If the tide, forever moving, 
 shan't be gentle in its ways
 And the storm that never ceases 
 makes the walls of cities sway,
 
 May you feel that ev'ry wave 
 Shall move you also right along
 And see for ev'ry wall destroyed,
 Another's built, and twice as strong
 
 See the children in the grass
 All the world's wonder in their eyes
 See the old soul on the porch
 Watching his days float right on by
 
 Then see you, the worried wand'rer
 Full of hope, but also fear
 That you'll whither, waste, and wind up
 Wond'ring where went all the years
 
 But you must walk on, dear trav'ler,
 Though the road's not always clear
 Ev'ry face from ev'ry distant place--
 They have all passed through here
 
 So be free as all the winds are,
 And let light fill all your days
 As you go, forever searching,
 Wand'ring through the summer haze
