These are the beautiful original Shaker lyrics.
At their core is that eternal profound maxim that the simple things in life are often the best.

Copland may have been a genius, but credit for "Simple Gifts" goes to Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr., who wrote the dance song in 1848 at the Shaker village in Alfred, Maine.
