Tell me O waves of this infinite sea
Is this a woman for me?

Search for belonging in
the grotto of green.

Tell me O moon of the sleeping sky
Is this a woman for me?

Search for belonging in
the celestial bed.

Tell me O earth where I stand each day
Is this a woman for me?

Search for belonging in
the field of grass.

Tell me O woman that I wish to know
Are you the one for me?

Look for me in the lines of a poem.
