Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple,

'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down

where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves

in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of

love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we

shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight
'Till by turning, turning we

come round right.
