Paean for the Insects

A couple of years ago, I wrote this song to celebrate the return of the insects in the springtime. Those of you who know me personally can ask me to sing you the tune!


Welcome back, O glorious insects!
Bring your beauties to the earth.
We have missed your flying splendors-
We have longed for your return.

Bless us with your creeping wisdoms,
Heal us with your Spring rebirth,
Free us from our Winter's solace;
Join with us, together to learn!
