the show must go on
When a whirlwind goes through the flower bed
creating havoc for nothing
upsetting the gardener's heart
and causing him sleepless nights of worry,
he nevertheless goes on planting new flowers
with a cheer and with good results,
since nothing can keep them from growing,
nothing can withold their beauty,
and flowers do not cry
no matter how consistently they wither
and are trampled down even annually
and not only by thunderstorms.
Well aware of this wonder,
the gardener remains constant forever
always planting new flowers
with a cheer and good results,
for beauty is a joy forever
which nothing ever can hide away.

Broken blossoms
When a whirlwind goes through the flower bed
creating havoc for nothing
upsetting the gardener's heart
and causing him sleepless nights of worry,
he nevertheless goes on planting new flowers
with a cheer and with good results,
since nothing can keep them from growing,
nothing can withold their beauty,
and flowers do not cry
no matter how consistently they wither
and are trampled down even annually
and not only by thunderstorms.
Well aware of this wonder,
the gardener remains constant forever
always planting new flowers
with a cheer and good results,
for beauty is a joy forever
which nothing ever can hide away.
