_ [G] _ _ That [Bm] hungers in the [C] first light much, much more [G] than mountains [D] _
_ [G] ever do. _ _ _
And she, like a [E] ghost beside [C] me, goes down the leaves of a [G] daughter
and _ awakens unlearned, [D] unshamed, unharmed.
[G] For she is a perfect creature, [C] natural and ever-present,
[G] and I am the geek with [D] the _ alchemist's dome.
_ _ [Am] _ For all of you who must [G] discover, _ _ _ [Am] _ [D] for all who seek to [G] understand,
