Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGHIJKIILMINN| Our heart wanders lost in the dark woods | A |
| Our dream wrestles in the castle of doubt | B |
| But there's music in us Hope is pushed down | C |
| but the angel flies up again taking us with her | D |
| The summer mornings begin inch by inch | E |
| while we sleep and walk with us later | D |
| as long legged beauty through | F |
| the dirty streets It is no surprise | G |
| that danger and suffering surround us | H |
| What astonishes is the singing | I |
| We know the horses are there in the dark | J |
| meadow because we can smell them | K |
| can hear them breathing | I |
| Our spirit persists like a man struggling | I |
| through the frozen valley | L |
| who suddenly smells flowers | M |
| and realizes the snow is melting | I |
| out of sight on top of the mountain | N |
| knows that spring has begun | N |
