O Little Creature!
Thou was frought forth fro the heart of earth.
The sky is thy father and the earth is thy mother.
O little creature!
Thou shalt grow up and meet a lot of people,
yet ye shall be old and pass away.
So, happy art thou, O little creature!
in the days of thy youth
for nothing lasts for ever.
But know thou, O little creature!
whithersoever thou goest
whithersoever thou beholdest,
forget not that there is a day
when thou shalt return whence thou comest.
Little Creature
