1. In a meadow whose freshness delights the eye
A breeze passes gently over its drinking-place

2. A pine-tree whose trunk is erected
Bows over it and in the water dips its crown

3. I fancied it, with its boughs and its twigs
Was like a flask whose water flows from its neck

4. Like a mother-ostrich sheltering
Her fledglings clinging close to her
