Seals & Crofts East of Ginger Trees Lyrics:
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals &
Dash Crofts, 1971) From the albums SUMMER BREEZE
(1972), GREATEST HITS (1975), SUDAN VILLAGE
(1976), THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979)
and LIFT UP YOUR VOICES AND SING, VOL. 2 (1997).

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.

(From Baha'i scripture) "Be lions roaring in
the forests of knowledge, Whales swimming in the

oceans of life." Prepare to meet
Bahá'u'llá'h in the Garden of Clove.

Note: Vahid Odin Spencer provided me with the
context of the closing lyric in October of 1999 --
O Lord! Should the breath of the Holy Spirit
confirm the weakest of creatures, he would attain
all to which he aspireth and would possess
anything he desireth. Indeed, Thou hast assisted
Thy servants in the past and, though they were the
weakest of Thy creatures, the lowliest of Thy
servants and the most insignificant of those who
lived upon the earth, through Thy sanction and
potency they took precedence over the most
glorious of Thy people and the most noble of
mankind. Whereas formerly they were as moths, they
became as royal falcons, and whereas before they
were as brooks, they became as seas, through Thy
bestowal and Thy mercy. They became, through Thy
most great favor, stars shining on the horizon of
guidance, birds singing in the rose gardens of
immortality, lions roaring in the forests of
knowledge and wisdom, and whales swimming in the
oceans of life. (Abdu'l-Bahá: Tablets of the
Divine Plan, Page: 107)
