When I Was A Boy dainos žodžiai
When I was a boy A god often rescued me From the shouts and the rods of men And I played among trees and flowers Secure in their kindness And the breezes of heaven Were playing there too. And as you delight The hearts of plants When they stretch towards you With little strength So you delighted the heart in me Father Helios
and like Endymion I was your favourite
Moon. 0 all You friendly And faithful gods I wish you could know How my soul has loved you. Even though when I called to you then It was not yet with names
and you Never named me as people do As though they knew one another I knew you better Than I have ever known them. I understood the stillness above the sky But never the words of men. Trees were my teachers Melodious trees And I learned to love Among flowers. I grew up in the arms of the gods.
