Life is full of noise and bustle
Rush and hurry, run and hustle
People ‘round me with demands
Open mouths with open hands
Lend me now a quiet place
A moment’s peace, a silent place
Time to think and time to plan
A quiet, peaceful, restful span
I ask the Gods to grant me peace
A brief time for the noise to cease
An hour or two out of my life
Free from hurry, free from strife
Peace and quiet for my soul
A restful place to make me whole
Grant me now this time and place
So I might live my life with grace
So Mote It Be
