Did you hear the news today
Said Raven to the deer?
Francis of Assisi lies
Not too far from here
He lies upon his Mother Earth
She'll take his body soon
His Father waits at Heaven's gate
With songs of sister moon

Across the land they heard the call
Creatures great and small
To gather round the gentle monk
Who loved them one and all
To say a prayer for sweet release
From the pains of man
To thank him for showing them
The way to Heaven

Blessed be the divinity 
Of feather, fur, and fin
Francis of Assisi 
Gathered all these souls to him
All good things upon the earth
Are blessed by God's own hand
Our Father lives in all of them
The Light of Heaven

One by one they lay with him
To comfort, soothe, and ease
His final moments on the earth
As Moon looked down in peace
Feathered wings beneath his head
Furry ones lay close beside
Cooing, purring songs to him
Till Sister Death arrived

Blessed be the divinity 
Of feather, fur, and fin
Francis of Assisi 
Gathered all these souls to him
All good things upon the earth
Are blessed by God's own hand
Our Father lives in all of them
The Light of Heaven

Have you heard the news today
Said Raven to the deer?
Francis of Assisi lies
Not too far from here
He lies upon his Mother Earth
She'll take his body soon
His Father waits at Heaven's gate
With songs of sister moon
His Father waits at Heaven's gate
With songs of sister moon
