I bless you, forests, valleys, fields, mountains, waters, <br />I bless freedom and blue skies. <br /> <br />I bless my staff and my humble rags. <br />And the steppe from beginning to end, <br />And the sun's light, and night's darkness, <br /> <br />And the path I walk, pauper that I am, <br />And, in the field every blade of grass, <br />and every star in the sky! <br /> <br />O! if only I could encompass all life, <br />And join my soul with yours. <br />O! if only I could embrace you all, <br />Enemies, friends and brothers, and all nature, <br />And enfold all nature in my arms!<br /><br />Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-bless-you-forests/
