Bilingual
To the stand-bys
Add this one
Always to define
Whatever we perceive
To trace its outline
So that we can see
What it really is
What it really is
Its substance
Stripped bare
As a whole
Unmodified
And to call it by
Its name
The thing itself
And its components
To which it will eventually return
To which it will eventually return
To which it will eventually return
To which it will eventually return
Nothings so conducive
To spiritual growth as this
Capacity for
Logical and accurate analysis
Of everything
That happens to us
To look at it in such a way
That we understand
What need it fulfills
And in what kind of world
And its value to that world
As a whole
And to man in particular
As a citizen of that higher city
Of which all other cities
Are like families
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
What is this
Which now creates an image in me
What is its composition
How long was it designed to last?
And what virtue do I need to meet it?
Gentleness
Manliness
Honesty
Courage and the rest
Therefore in each case we say
This comes from god
This is according
To the spinning thread of destiny
And such coincidence and chance
And this one from my fellow man
Same stock
Kinsman
He just doesn't understand
What's according to his nature
What's according to his nature
But I do
So I'll treat him as the law
That binds us both requires
With justice and with kindness
I do
So I'll treat him as the law
That binds us both requires
With justice and with kindness

To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
To which we will eventually return
