– Yesterday I bought a jar of honey. –
– I bought it at an electrical store. –
– I bought it and brought it home, –
– at home I sat down at the table and pondered –
– about things that came
while the bees were gathering honey –
– about the sorrows of many
and the beauty of everyday days. –
– The days pass one by one
and the simple soul nestles against the rose, –
– and the rose gives him drink
from its thorny stem, –
– until he is all soaked with water
like a sponge after rain. –
– When he is unsure,
he lacks all self-confidence. –
– When someone stands in his way, –
– he silently walks around them. –
– When it is haymaking, –
– he likes to join the mowers to help, –
– but he does not have enough strength
to reach the end of the meadow. –
– When the sun sets,
they all walk together in silence, –
– until someone
begins to sing the evening song. –
– He, the simple soul,
follows them quietly and reflects –
– on things that came
while the bees were gathering honey –
– on the sorrows of many
and the beauty of everyday days. –
– The days pass one by one
and the simple soul nestles against the rose, –
– the rose nestles against the simple soul
and both sit in silence, –
– until the simple soul
begins to sing the evening song. –
– God help those
who are in need. –
