Tell Me

 TELL ME

Tell me of the elements

That all things share.

Tell me of those elements,

Tell me of the air.

            **********

Tell me now, to give me ease,

Tell me words that matter.

Tell me of those endless seas,

Tell me of that water.

            **********

Tell me words that I should keep,

Tell me words of worth.

Tell me the words I seek,

Tell me of the earth.

            **********

Tell me words of pleasure,

Tell me words most dire.

Tell me words to treasure,

Tell me of the fire.

            **********

Tell me of the elements

That all things share,

Tell of those elements,

Fire, water, earth and air.
