Rural Poems is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

Son of Nature

 

The village shepherd is a prophet

And I am one of his followers.

He plays psalms on his flute,

And verses float upon his breath.

Come, you pure of heart,

Let us drink from the springs of his salvation.

He is a son of nature,

And whoever is like him revives souls.
