When I Bring To You Colored Toys, My Child

When I Bring To You Colored Toys, My Child,
I Understand Why There Is Such A Play Of Colors On Clouds, On Water,
And Why Flowers Are Painted In Tints
---when I Give Colored Toys To You, My Child.

When I Sing To Make You Dance
I Truly Now Why There Is Music In Leaves,
And Why Waves Send Their Chorus Of Voices To The Heart Of The Listening Earth
---when I Sing To Make You Dance.

When I Bring Sweet Things To Your Greedy Hands
I Know Why There Is Honey In The Cup Of The Flowers
And Why Fruits Are Secretly Filled With Sweet Juice
---when I Bring Sweet Things To Your Greedy Hands.

When I Kiss Your Face To Make You Smile, My Darling,
I Surely Understand What Pleasure Streams From The Sky In Morning Light,
And What Delight That Is That Is Which The Summer Breeze Brings To My Body
---when I Kiss You To Make You Smile.
