Dewi Sant’s Little Things

Dewi Sant’s last words were:

Brothers and sisters, be joyful and keep your faith, and do the little things that you heard and saw from me. And me, I’ll will take the road that our fathers went on…

Dewi Sant’s Little Things
Not the sound of a harp but the sound of a harp-string
Not great oaktrees but little birds
Not the sun and the moon but sparks from the fire

But Oh, what a job it is trying to find a sack
To keep all the little things

Dewi Sant’s Little Things
The mouse, but not the elephant
Dew drops, not the water of the seas
But in the branches, the noise of the seas

But Oh, what a job it is trying to find a sack
To keep all the little things

Dewi Sant’s Little Things
The sound our feet make in the stream
And the seeds falling here and there
And the last piece of joy in your hand

But Oh, what a job it is trying to find a sack
To keep all the little things

The map of the world in a childrens’ book
Daffodils in the valley
Dewi Sant’s Little Things

And the distance between a tooth and a tooth
And between ninety-nine and a hundred
Dewi Sant’s Little Things

But Oh, what a job it is trying to find a sack
To keep all the little things
