Girl of Finland Page #5

---

Talking is

better than keeping silent.

While we're chattering away,

children are dying in Vietnam.

They become

blind or crippled or burned.

Mothers are being shot

and their children starve to death.

Why are they born at all?

Why don't you do something

for the children born today-

- instead of talking

and thinking that you'll persuade-

- people all over the world

to become pacifists?

I don't know

what to think anymore.

I've been told the world

can be changed. Let's do it then.

I feel tired. The world is such a huge

machine people can't control it.

It just goes on and on. Everything

is so complicated and mixed up.

I don't even know

what to do with my own life.

I used to sit and plan my future

for hours on end.

But I can't anymore. I'm frightened.

You said the world's so huge

that people can't affect it.

But the world is in people. That's

how the world can be affected-

- somebody else's world

you're in love with.

You don't need to think

about India or Vietnam.

You don't need

to think about that all the time.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

If the pomegranate's in bloom.

Come my love to the countryside.

In the village we'll spend our night.

In the morning

we'll see in the vineyard.

If the vine is budding.

If the buds are open yet.

If the pomegranate's in bloom.

There I will give my love to you.

Hasten my love like a gazelle.

Like a mountain deer

on a balsam hill.

There I will give you my love.

Come my love to the countryside.

In the village we'll spend our night.

The berries of love are fragrant.

And before our door fruits grow.

Costly fruits, fruits new and old.

For you my love I have saved them.

Hasten my love like a gazelle.

Like a mountain deer

on a balsam hill.

There I will give you my love.
