"Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World,

With the wonderful water round you

curled,

And the wonderful grass upon your breast,

World, you are beautifully drest!"

[graphic]

Look out of the window!

Look, look, look!

Sky so blue,

I see you!

Grass so green,
I see you!

I see you and love you,
And so I will paint you.

Come and play in the blue, blue sky!

How soft and white

you are!

You look like drifts of snow.

You look like clouds of smoke.

I like to tell with my brush

what you look like.

Where is the bright blue sky?
A soft gray veil now hides it.
A soft gray veil now hides the sun.
Where is the bright green field?

A soft gray cloak now hides it.

Light gray veil and dark gray cloak! Let us paint the world in gray.

O white moon, sailing down the sky, I watch you when in bed I lie.”

We play you are a silver boat.

We play we sail in the silver boat.
We always sail home in the path

of light.

Let us paint the dark world

with the great white light.
