Before Thee <br />Gold is tarnishing <br />The earth is getting misty <br />The cloud is weeping rain <br />The eagle is becoming a sparrow <br />The king is bending <br />The poor man is building a palace <br />The lion is licking the lamb <br />The moon and the sun are eclipsing <br />The storm is subduing <br />The mountain is becoming a plain <br />The path is leading to a place <br />And I, before Thee is trembling <br />And I, so tiny, is praying <br /> <br />Devant Ta Face <br />L’Or se ternit <br />La Terre s’embrume <br />Le Nuage pleure ses pluies <br />L’Aigle se fait moineau <br />Le Roi courbe l’échine <br />Le Pauvre bâtit un palais <br />Le Lion lèche l’agneau <br />La Lune et le Soleil s’éclipsent <br />La Tempête s’adoucit <br />La Montagne devient plaine <br />Le Chemin aboutit au lieu <br />Et moi, devant Toi, je tremble <br />Et moi tout petit, je prie <br /> <br />Translated from the French by the author<br /><br />Alain Ilan Braun<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-thee/
