The Child
Was it I
who agreed to kneel before the stone?
Was it I who accepted that the stone
speaks to me?
Was it I who accepted that the stone
is the mightiest of powers?
Truly, was it I who did not know
that it is only I who grant the stone
all this power?...

آیا من بودم
که پذیرفتم زانو بزنم پیش سنگ؟
من بودم که پذیرفتم سنگ
با من سخن می گوید؟
من بودم که پذیرفتم سنگ
قدر قدرت هاست؟
راستی این من بودم که نمی دانستم
که فقط این من هستم که به سنگ می بخشم
همه ی این قدرت را؟...
