Every man may take as much as he likes

Of its beauty, up to the farthest hilltops,

As if it were wine and bread

Handed out to feed hungry souls

And to fill with light the thirsty.

I stroll alone on gentle roads into the splendor

Bathing my face in a thousand rosy waves;

Far away like smoke from a black stack lies my pain.

I know it, yet I wander.

We may, like expectant children, be blessed.
