lyrics

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground
and swallows circling with their shimmering sound
Frogs in the pools singing at night
Wild plum trees in tremulous white

And not one will know of the war, not one
will care at last when it is done
And not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
if mankind perished utterly

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
would scarcely know that we were gone

And not one will know of the war, not one
will care at last when it is done
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly
