Catty 1 has the puzzle!!

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man

From “Ripple“ -- Robert Hunter

She will be hosting the next....it may not be immediate, but I'll leave that for her to post. Thank you all for participating!!

This song is very close to my heart. I have heard it performed many times by various bands related to the Grateful Dead (The Dead,The Other Ones, The Jerry Garcia Band, Further....) as well as other bands not associated. It's a beautiful piece. For those interested, here are the rest of the lyrics...

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near, as it were your own?


It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man


There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall, you fall alone
If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home
