The meaning
I have always had question for whirlwind –
What's the secret of power and youth?
That's the answer of livening whirlwind:
«Youth and power – in wind. That's a truth!»
I have always had question for ocean –
What's the meaning of world that I see?
That's the answer of sonorous ocean:
«Our world should be stormy like me!»
I have always had question for sunlight –
How be brighter than rays of the sun?
I do not heard the answer of sunlight,
But he said: «You must shine, my dear son!»
