While I am merely a man, let me admire
that splendour I shall become part of,
when I am dressed in the leaves and the flowers;
when I am married to the Earth for all time;
deep in the home of the setting sun.
Then I shall be as lustrous as the placid lake
that, tranquilly, reflects upon the skies;
then I shall sing tulips from my mouth
and roses, like love, will take root in my heart;
then my eyes will shine bright amongst the stars,
my hands shall weave webs and build nests in the trees
and my joyous tears rattle the rooftops of the Earth;
in the hot summer I shall blow soft kisses on you
and, when the clouds drift apart, you will see me smile.
