Is it this?

Pete Seeger sings one verse of "Open the Door" on Love Songs for Friends and Foes, Folkways FA 2453.

Open the door softly, I've something to tell you, dear.
Open it up no wider than the crack upon the floor.
Open the door softly, I've something to tell you, dear.

Warm summer grasses have whispered it in your ear.
Skeins of shining waters ask you patiently to hear.
Tall lonely timbers have taught it to the deer.

Sad winds in autumn will tell you as they pass by.
Wild geese flying eastward leave their music in the sky.
Listen at evening and answer the wild birds' cry.

(repeat first verse)
