Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing
there is a field.  I'll meet you there.

Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing
there is a field.  I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase
each other, doesn't make any sense.
