English text
- When I bring to you colour'd toys, my child, I understand why there is such a play
- of colours on clouds, on water, and why flow’rs are painted in tints–when I give
- colour’d toys to you, my child.
- When I sing to make you dance, I truly know why there is music in leaves, and why
- waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth–when I sing
- to make you dance.
- When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, I know why there is honey in the
- cup of the flower and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice–when I bring
- sweet things to your greedy hands.
