Everything Is Round by Gabriela Mistral

Stars are circles of children
Looking at the earth as they play . . .
Wheat stalks are bodies of children
swaying and swaying as they play . . .

Rivers are circles of children
running off to the sea as they play . . .
Waves are circles of little girls
embracing this world . . .as they play . . .

translated by D.M. Pettinella
