Translation

Language: English  after the English 
The smiling sea 
And dunes and sky 
Dream; and the bee 
Goes dreaming by. 

In heaven's field 
Moon's scimitar 
Is drawn to shield 
One dreaming star. 

The dreaming flowers 
And lovers nod. 
Serene these hours — 
Serene is God.

Composition:

    Set to music by Leo Sowerby (1895 - 1968), "Serenity", 1929 [ voice and piano ]
