  1. Slumber breeze plucks from the trees the leaves and seeds unbound,<\/li>\n
  2. Softly down with scarce a sound, impregnating the ground.<\/li>\n
  3. Fallen snow, a cradle low, to stow from blow aloft.<\/li>\n
  4. Intertwining rain and shining guiding seedling soft.<\/li>\n
  5. One hand wise paints blue the skies, established clouds up high.<\/li>\n
  6. One hand true the sea subdued, renewed the surf and tide.<\/li>\n
  7. Planted groves and fashioned hooves, and fin and wing prepared;<\/li>\n
  8. Ash and dust infused by hush, the rush of breath made bare.<\/li>\n
  9. River shores, and temple doors, and forest floors are where<\/li>\n
  10. Voice above came down as dove, to them in love declare.<\/li>\n
  11. Manger still, and garden spill, and pierced hill, nearby.<\/li>\n
  12. Quiet site, and mountain side, and desert bright, the cry.<\/li>\n
  13. Seeded through a heart of blue, now made anew and wrought.<\/li>\n
  14. Planted pink inside the think to never shrink in thought.<\/li>\n
  15. Lavender the soul to stir, binary blur abound.<\/li>\n
  16. Hold both hands, I move to stand with divine grand astound.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
