East of Ginger Trees

by Seals & Crofts

on Seals & Crofts' Greatest Hits (1977)

Go east of your dream and farm
Let peace and silence spin your yarn
What harm can befall thee
In yon wilderness of clove?

Go on east of ginger trees
Go soft and silent like the breeze
With ease be off and wander
In yon wilderness of clove

Go on past the goldenrods
Where fools and angels lose their odds
And Gods of our ancestors
Did immerse themselves in clove

Go on toward the crimson shore
Beyond this life of metaphors
Where doors of understanding's house
Decorates he them with clove

Be lions roaring in the forests of knowledge
Whales swimming in the oceans of life
Prepare to meet Baha'u'lla'h in the Garden of Clove
