Pete Seeger is Gone, but His Circles of Song Ring On

Seminal figure in American music influenced generations of musicians from Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen. 

 To my old brown earth
 And to my old blue sky
 I’ll now give these last few molecules of “I.”
 And you who sing, And you who stand nearby, I do charge you not to cry.
 Guard well our human chain,
 Watch well you keep it strong,
As long as sun will shine.
 And this our home, Keep pure and sweet and green,
 For now I’m yours And you are also mine.

 Pete’s voice has been silenced, but his circle of song is unbroken.
