In the heavens
A skylark is singing
A happy song.
When the rains come down,
The clouds, gray and unhappy,
Are softly crying.
In an old garden,
Surrounded by blighted weeds,
Are two small flowers.
The winter comes
And icy winds.
Imbedded in sand,
A great, weathered boulder
Stands by the sea.
Very soft and white,
Like a great white light,
Rises the moon.

En el cielo
Una alondra canta
Un canto bueno.
Cuando llueve,
Los nubes gran y grises
Estan llorando.
Con plantas malas
En un jardin viejo,
Hay dos floritas.
Con mucha nieve
Y vientos helados
Va el invierno.
En la arena,
Parada cerca del mar
Un grande hueso.
Blanca y blanda,
Como una luz larga,
Sube la luna.
