"I See the Moon" by Lisa Kathleen Johnson Ponder

Lisa Kathleen Johnson Ponder (1956). Scottish, Irish, Native American. Chicago, Illinois, USA. Shenandoah is on records an in books. Sleep comes soft, slow, and unnoticed – like a fog spreading. Breath slower, shut my eyes, be calm and still. I love the swish of grasses on a sunny day outside with a little gentle breeze. I love lima beans, cherries, warm juicy ripe tree peaches because my mouth is happy to taste them." 0040-0044

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to see you,

Away you rolling river.

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to see you,

Away, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah,

I love your daughter,

Away, you rolling river.

For her I'd cross

Your roaming waters,

Away, I'm bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri.

'Tis seven years

since last I've seen you,

Away, you rolling river.

'Tis seven years

since last I've seen you,

Away, we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river.

Oh Shenandoah,

I long to hear you,

Away, we're bound away

'Cross the wide Missouri. Wikipedia
