"An episodic piece in Romantic style: In the 1st section, 4 environments of Earth are presented with different themes. In 2nd section, the progress of civilization is represented by a chorale, but in the 3rd this collides and merges with the theme for encroaching desert. The 4th section presents a more positive outlook with reprise of the forest theme. There is a multicultural coda."

:Blue, and brown, and green, and white: :Dunia, Dhara, Gaea, Terra, Earth. :Blue of the ocean. :Brown of the desert, and brown of the prairie. :Green of the tangled forest. :White of the snow. :Blue, and brown, and green, and white. :Continents split and reunite. :Life springs up from water and light. :People sing to stars at night: :Life is short; the art is long. :Ethics, law, and religion; :Math and physics growing strong; :Art and music raise a song. :In all our pride, we must recall: :Earth is home and life to all. :If we burn, and tear, and gall :Arts and cities both shall fall. :So if you love this fragile sphere, :Put all your hope into one child; :Her son might live beside the wild, :With room for forest, wolf, and deer. :There are deer in the tangled forest; :There are wolves in the tangled forest; :And frogs in the tangled forest; :And owls in the tangled forest. :Dunia, Dhara, Gaea, Terra: our Earth.
