Horns to bulls wise Nature lends;
Horses she with hoofs defends;

Sur Karyal - Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai
Vai
I belong to that Baloch, to Him I belong
In reverence unmatched
I bow to Him
And kiss the dust He walks upon
Hold Him dearer than the sight of my eyes
I belong to that Baloch, to Him I belong
In reverence unmatched
I bow to Him
And kiss the dust He walks upon
Hold Him dearer than the sight of my eyes

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee - Henry Van Dyke
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!

Highgate - Eleanor Farjeon
On the Hill there stands a Gate
Where folk go early and come back late.

Last Of His Tribe - Oodgeroo Noonuccal
Change is the law. The new must oust the old.
I look at you and am back in the long ago,
Old pinnaroo lonely and lost here,
Last of your clan.
Left only with your memories, you sit
And think of the gay throng, the happy people,
The voices and the laughter
All gone, all gone,
And you remain alone.
I look at you and am back in the long ago,
Old pinnaroo lonely and lost here,
Last of your clan.
Left only with your memories, you sit
And think of the gay throng, the happy people,
The voices and the laughter
All gone, all gone,
And you remain alone.

The Make A Wish Foundation - Kodjo Deynoo
Customarily candle lights are blown
To make a wish, make a wish
Make a wish and blow out the lights
To make a wish, make a wish
Make a wish and blow out the lights

The Ballad which Anne Askew made and sang when she was in Newgate - Anne Askew
Like as the armed knight
Appointed to the field
With this world will I fight
And faith shall be my shield.
Appointed to the field
With this world will I fight
And faith shall be my shield.

Moonlit Night - Joseph Freiherr Von Eichendorff
It was as if heaven
had quietly kissed the earth,
so that earth with its shimmering blossoms
could only dream of heaven.

The Gift - George William Russell
I thought, beloved, to have brought to you
A gift of quietness and ease and peace,
Cooling your brow as with the mystic dew
Dropping from twilight trees.
A gift of quietness and ease and peace,
Cooling your brow as with the mystic dew
Dropping from twilight trees.
