What has the earth to do with air?
They seem a most unlikely pair.
Just look to the horizon, where
they touch for miles, but cross nowhere.
What has the sky to do with land?
The ground will never understand;
it may find heights, but none so grand
as air seeks without thought or plan.
What has the earth to do with air?
Look to the fields and roadways where
when mixed with diligence and care
their children grow beyond compare.
What has the air to do with earth?
It gives it life and fire and mirth;
and just beyond the sight, gives birth
to flowers that cost a penny’s-worth.
