We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good We'll do the best we know. We'll build our house and chop our wood And make our garden grow.
I tend to think of gardens (and the "we" above) as having metaphoric significance (as well as literal). (Was also thinking of "Secret Garden" tunes.) It's a large chorus number, which means you could reduce to two-part (esp. since it's initially tenor/soprano).
Is there anything you could use from the Copland "Tender Land"? (Granted, an opera...)
