-:On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. The infinite sky is motionless
-:overhead and the restless water is boisterous. On the seashore of endless worlds
-:the children meet with shouts and dances.
-:They build their houses with sand and they play with empty shells. With withered
-:leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep. Children
-:have their play on the seashore of worlds.
-:They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl fishers dive for
-:pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles and scatter
-:them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets.
-:The sea surges up with laughter, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach.
-:Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads to the children, even like a mother
-:while rocking her baby’s cradle. The sea play with children, and pale gleams the
-:smile of the sea-beach.
-:On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless
-:sky, ships get wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play.
-:On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.
