  1. It was the most beautiful thing that God could imagine and it was the making of you by his hand that caused you to come into being. He made birds and he made so many that the wind blowing over the sea carried with it strange music as if an island were singing.
    He made you very beautiful, your mountains purple and your grain gold your lakes and rivers silver and your fields green. He made you so beautiful that no one that looked at you could look at you without loving you.
