Comment(s):
This work, using adapted words by one of Canada's most treasured poets, Archibald Lampman, underscores the urgent need for us all to be respectful and mindful of the fragility of mother earth, which gives us life and sustains us. This is a beautiful work for any concert lifting up earth day, the environment, socially conscious themes or plant and animal life.
