This child’s mind is full of nature and joy,
among her thoughts are rivers, leafy trees,
sweeping flocks of swallows, and scudding clouds:
a mind of unbridled imagining
that looks on beautiful and healthy things.
This girl has intelligence, unalloyed
and pure, as fresh as fragrant spring.
Such innocence sets her apart in crowds.
At five years old, this girl dances and sings
and brings sweet love like an angel with wings.
