The Sky Above the Roof

The sky above the roof
Is so blue, so calm!
A tree above the roof
Sways its fronds.

The bell in the sky we see
Softly chimes.
A bird in the tree we see
Sings its lament.

Dear God, dear God, life is there,
Simple and still.
That peaceful murmur there
Comes from the town.

What have you done, you who are here
Weeping endlessly?
Oh, what have you done, you who are here.
With the days of your youth?
