How beautiful the world is...



How beautiful the world is
The world - a huge space
For every living being
That rushes to the Sun

A world for the ant who struggles to carry the needle of the pine tree
She builds her house
He's making love
 
How beautiful is the world of all aquatic creatures
Here the dolphin glides on the cool sea waves
There the shoal of herring
And a predator shark
Everything comes together, the whole world comes first

How beautiful is the world of every living creature
Here a blade of grass sways, too heavy with dewdrops
Here the milk clouds in the blue sky
Glide nobly to catch up with the Sun, they are on the spot

How beautiful is the world at night, a world of calm shadows
That slumber in the corner, having time for a nap
Here the stars twinkle with their lanterns
Light up the eyes of the creatures with their beautiful colours at night

Man, you know, such a rational creature
I look around with wonder at the world, great God
You have created magic here, I with my poems

I only try to describe the world, in humility, for us.
