A Druids Passing

See the stone circle on the hilltop
Shining in the light of the moon.
See the druid lying in prayer
Praying because his life will end soon.
For fifty years he has walked this Earth,
For fifty years he has known no shame.
Now — He knows — it’s time to return
Back to the Earth from where he came.
See the stone circle on the hilltop
Shining in the break of day.
See the druid lying in silence,
See the druid who dying today.
