Days and nights have I toiled
Until I reached the
mountain top.
There I can see the whole
worldBut I hardly
notice that I'm up
For my inner eye sees most.
In my toilings I was taught
That I need not to boast.
So as I chat with the elephants,
I also chat with the ants
I never trample them under feet.
On that
mountain my eyes saw a wonder.
The birds have their nests cleaved together,
The eagles never claimed their dominion
And I say this is amazing union
Because they all play with one another.
Now my coat of mail has crumbled
And my thundering voice has ceased.
The children can come with laughter,
And I will carry them to my shoulder
So they can see more of the
world.
