Then read the poem:
Here is the wind in the morning;
The kind red face of God
Is looking over the hill
We are climbing.

To-morrow we are going to marry
And work and play together,
And laugh together at things
Which would not amuse our neighbours.

Hi David,

Yours is fine except I'm hearing "Edwin" for the translator's first name.
