How they differ from mine
The feathers of fledglings
So light they carry the air
Mine weigh me down so much
That sometimes, not even the mourning
Alleviates their weight (grief)
The birds have feathers
That the beautiful mild afternoons
Lift them in these hills
From hill to hill,
Or the extensive meadow
To discover horizons
They are very happy the birds
How light and soft they are,
The feathers that God gave them!
Mine weight me down so much
Ah, if only you knew how much,
God knows and I know it!
