For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything your goodness sends,

Thank you!

And our souls be fed.

Oh, the Earth is good to me,

and so I thank the Earth

the sun, the rain and the apple seed

the earth is good to me.
