Where am I going? I don't quite know. Down to the stream where the king–cups grow — Up on the hill where the pine–trees blow — Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
Where am I going? The clouds sail by, Little ones, baby ones, over the sky. Where am I going? The shadows pass, Little ones, baby ones, over the grass.
If you were a cloud, and sailed up there, You'd sail on water as blue as air, And you'd see me here in the fields and say: "Doesn't the sky look green today?"
Where am I going? The high rooks call: "It's awful fun to be born at all." Where am I going? The ring–doves coo: "We do have beautiful things to do."
If you were a bird, and lived on high, You'd lean on the wind when the wind came by, You'd say to the wind when it took you away: "That's where I wanted to go today!"
Where am I going? I don't quite know. What does it matter where people go? Down to the wood where the blue–bells grow — Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
