Mud is Beauty in the making
Mud is melody awaking
Laughter, leafy whisperings
Butterflies with rainbow wings
Baby babble, lover's sighs
Bobolink in lucent skies
Ardours of heroic blood
All stem back to Matrix Mud
Mud is mankind in the moulding
Heaven's mystery unfolding
Miracles of mighty men
Raphael's brush and Shakespear's pen
Sculpture, music, all we owe
Mozart, Michael Angelo
Wonder, worship, dreaming spire
Issue out of primal mire
In the raw, red womb of Time
Man evolved from cosmic slime
And our thaumaturgic day
Had its source in ooze and clay
But I have not power to see
Such stupendous alchemy
And in star-bright lily bud
Lo! I worship Mother Mud
Mud is mankind in the moulding
Heaven's mystery unfolding
Miracles of mighty men
Raphael's brush and Shakespear's pen
Sculpture, music, all we owe
Mozart, Michael Angelo
Wonder, worship, dreaming spire
Issue out of primal mire
Mud is Beauty in the making
Mud is melody awaking
Laughter, leafy whisperings
Butterflies with rainbow wings
Baby babble, lover's sighs
Bobolink in lucent skies
Ardours of heroic blood
All stem back to Matrix Mud
In the raw, red womb of Time
Man evolved from cosmic slime
And our thaumaturgic day
Had its source in ooze and clay
But I have not power to see
Such stupendous alchemy
And in star-bright lily bud
Lo! I worship Mother Mud
