I sink into the earth
A little more each passing day
Eventually I'll lie beneath
The soil and the clay
I find myself contented
No matter how reduced the view
For still I have the sky above
And today the sky is blue
As I sink horizons shrink
I relinquish care and yearning
And look ever to the sky
Where my friend the sun is burning
Yet but a little time must pass
Before the fall shall be reversed
And all once more will walk upon
The circle of the earth
