Nature's Fruit

Have you ever cried of fear?
Or watched a hawk observing mice?
Or climbed a mountain?
Is that your way of life?
If you sat behind a desk
Assigning papers morning till night
Had an affair with your secretary
Is that your way of life?
Is there such a difference in the two?
Could the hawk be you?
Sing a song or write a book
Drive a bus or make a suit
All these things are acquainted with
Nature making fruit
Have you ever done these things?
You’re flirting with the earth
Said the hawk to the mice
«I'll devour you, ain’t that nice?»
Is there such a difference in the two?
Could the hawk be
Could the hawk be
Could the hawk be you?
