[quote author=rob]Music from another time...\[\/quote\]

By way of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring =)

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'Tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be

And when we find ourselves in the place just right

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

When true simplicity is gained

To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd

To turn turn will be our delight

Till by turning turning we come round right

Made a couple of changes and added the second verse. Changes just make the first verse sound like the Copland recording I have... may not be true to the original melody...
