Song: Simple Gifts
Artist: Yo-Yo Ma Featuring Alison Krauss
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
Simple Gifts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Simple Gifts" is an 1848 Shaker song by Elder Joseph Brackett.
It has endured many inaccurate descriptions. Though often classified as an anonymous Shaker hymn or as a work song, it is better classified as a dance song.
The composer
Elder Joseph Brackett was born in Cumberland, Maine, on May 6, 1797. He first joined the Shakers at Gorham, Maine, when his father's farm helped to form the nucleus of a new Shaker settlement. In 1819, Joseph moved with the other Shakers to Poland Hill, Maine. He later served as first minister of Maine Shaker societies, as well as Church Elder at New Gloucester, Maine, now known as Sabbathday Lake, the last remaining Shaker community. Elder Joseph Brackett died on July 4, 1882.

YuGong好，
這首歌聽到了。非常好聽，嫻靜的歌手唱出恬靜的意境。簡單禮物是不錯的饋贈，一枝花，一幅畫，一首音樂，一支歌曲，一張笑臉，一句問候，都能令人難以忘懷。謝謝你這首簡單的禮物歌！晚安。

老宋好，
很高興老宋喜歡。我今天首次聽到這歌，一下子連聽了好幾遍。
英雄所見略同：禮物雖輕情意深。
謝謝你的留言。
晚安。
