First lines
I am a kind word uttered and repeated by the voice of nature; / I am a star fallen from the blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements with whom winter conceived; / To whom Spring gave birth;
I was reared in the lap of Summer and I slept in the bed of Autumn.
At dawn I unite with the breeze to announce the coming of light; / At eventide I join the birds in bidding the light farewell.
