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.
