Teach me your ways oh! mighty Rivers
how you course so blithely?
You neither quetch about
the sharp stone you tread on
nor about the torrential waterfalls
you reach your destination certainly.
Teach me your ways oh! mighty Mountains
how you ascent the sky so steadily?
You never complain of the heights
or the bleak winds which blow relentlessly
you reach the stars bravely.
Teach me your ways oh! mighty Deserts
how you wait for the rain so patiently?
Neither complaining about the trapped heat
nor the way you are abandoned
you prevail and ponder peacefully.
