¡Árboles! ¿Habéis sido flechas caídas del azul? ¿Qué terribles guerreros os lanzaron? ¿Han sido las estrellas? Vuestras músicas vienen del alma de los pájaros, de los ojos de Dios, de la pasión perfecta. ¡Arboles! ¿Conocerán vuestras raíces toscas mi corazón en tierra?

Arbres ! Havez-vous été des flèches tombées du ciel ? Quels terribles guerriers vous ont lancés ? C'étaient les étoiles ? Vos musiques viennent de l'âme des oiseaux, des yeux de Dieu, de la passion parfaite. Arbres ! Vos racines rugueuses connaissent-elles dans la terre mon cœur ?
