Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

NOTES:
No way did Cat Stevens write the lyrics - unless
he's somewhere around 100 years old this year ;-). The MCPS/PRS
database in the UK shows Farjeon/Trad as the writing credits, so
Cat doesn't even get credited with the arrangement over here.
BTW - the MCPS/PRS database here is the one from which royalty payments to
publishers/composers derive, so it's supposed to be "the" reliant database....
