We Will Drink Pure Water Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

We will drink pure water
Mirroring the skies
and be refreshed
and the splashing of many waters
will soothe all distress
and the citrus sun.
to be a child of the shade
to gather the shade into you as
though it were violets
this I will do
and drink orangeade
when the day is done.
Be like a lily
In the quiet vale
Where sadness pales to sheer nothing
Where what is dreamed is lived
And the place is simple to find.
