5. Holy, Holy, Holy

  1.
  Holy, holy, holy! Termite, roly-poly,
  Grubworm, skink, and also asp, and yellow jacket too:
  Flying, biting, buzzing, always irritating,
  Tiny, fragile, painful, and holy through and through.

  2.
  Holy, holy, holy! Aspen, pine, pecan, and oak,
  Willow, fir, and juniper, and apple, peach, and pear:
  Holy, holy, holy, baobob and bo-tree:
  Eternal friends to those who stop and learn to hear.

  3.
  Holy, holy, holy! freshet, river, bayou, brook,
  Mountain, mesa, steppe, and plain, and valley, glen, and dell.
  Holy, holy, holy, continent and planet,
  Gifts to all who come in peace, and sharing, here do dwell.

  4.
  Holy, holy, holy! Muslim, Jew, and Christian,
  Buddhist, atheist, agnostic too, sisters, brothers all.
  Yellow, black, brown, red, and white: rainbow from the sun.
  One, we rise. If any err, together all do fall.
