Behold the bountiful land,
the young hills and the corn;
in the green river’s womb
Children are born;
Honey’s in the forest,
Blue fish in the sea;
The ash-gray of the clearings
Grows grain for me.

Behold the bountiful land,
the young hills and the corn;
in the green river’s womb
Children are born;
Honey’s in the forest,
Blue fish in the sea;
The ash-gray of the clearings
Grows grain for me.
