Fly upward and dive inward,

            There is nothing

That can ultimately resist us.

Letimo uvis i ronimo unutra,

            Onda ne postoji ništa

Što može da nam se večno suprotstavlja.

He makes His Home

I do not make my nest

            Inside His Heart.

Bog obavlja Njegovu Dužnost:

Gradi Njegov Dom

Ne gradim moje gnezdo

            Unutar Njegovog Srca.

He who seeks happiness

            In the distance

Will never find even and iota

            Of happiness.

Onaj ko traži sreću

            Negde daleko

Neće nikad pronaći ni trunčicu

            Sreće.
