Paragraph Lyric
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.
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.
