424. MY HEART SHALL GROW WITH YOU

O sleeping night,
   Don’t be so frightened.
My body shall sleep with you.

O whistling wind,
   Don’t be so restless.
My vital shall play with you.

O murmuring river,
   Don’t be so proud.
My mind shall run with you.

O lonely garden,
   Don’t be so depressed.
My heart shall grow with you.
