\nIf I
\nCould feed you light,
\nSet you free
\nIn a field
\nOf August vines bearing
\nSweets —\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould feed you air,
\nSet you free
\nAt mountain peak
\nMouth blue with berries–
\nWind —\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould feed you fire,
\nSet you free
\nTo warm a night
\nOf deep woods and stars,
\nPeace \u2013\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould feed you rain
\nSet you free
\nOpen-armed
\nAt the end of drought,
\nNaked —\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould feed you bread,
\nSet you free
\nBefore grain
\nSprouting dark and eager
\nFrom Earth —\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould feed you life
\nSet you free
\nWinging and wild
\nRooted and strong
\nGloriously burning
\nFountaining
\nFlowering
\nWet as birth
\nDeep as death\n<\/p>\n
\nIf I
\nCould set you free
\nI would.\n<\/p>\n
