Regardless of others, ever regardful of others,

A man and a woman  are one.   

Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man,

A man and a woman and a blackbird are one.   

Stuff'd with the stuff that is coarse and stuff'd with the stuff that is fine,

Be respectful of the small insects, birds and animal people who accompany you.

What injuries did daily on them lie!

Speak to it as you would to a beloved child.

Though she hath been injurious heretofore.

Ask their forgiveness for the harm we humans have brought down upon them.

Then let’s join heads and hands for your relief.

Then, you must do this: help the next person find their way through the dark.
