I was thirteen. I herded lambsBeyond the village on the lea.The magic of the sun, perhaps,
Or what was it affected me?I felt with joy all overcome,
As though with God....The time for lunch had long
passed by,And still among the weeds I lay
And prayed to God.... I know not why
It was so pleasant then to prayFor me, an orphan peasant boy,Or why such bliss so filled me
there?The sky seemed bright, the
village fair,The very lambs seemed to
rejoice!The sun's rays warmed but did
not sear!But not for long the sun stayed
kind,Not long in bliss I prayed....It turned into a ball of fireAnd set the world ablaze.
I WAS THIRTEEN

As though just wakened up, I gaze:
The hamlet's drab and poor,And God's blue heavens -- even
theyAre glorious no more.
I look upon the lambs I tend --Those lambs are not my own!I eye the hut wherein I dwell --
I do not have a home!God gave me nothing, naught
at all....I bowed my head and wept
Such bitter tears.... And then a lass*
Who had been sorting hempNot far from there, down by the
path,Heard my lament and came
Across the field to comfort me;She spoke a soothing phraseAnd gently dried my weeping
eyesAnd kissed my tear-wet face....
I WAS THIRTEEN

It was as though the sun had smiled,
As though all things on earth were mine,
My own.... the orchards, fields and groves!...
And, laughing merrily the while,The master's lambs to drink we
drove.Oh, how disgusting!... Yet,
when IRecall those days, my heart is
soreThat there my brief life's span
the LordDid not grant me to live and
die.There, plowing, I'd have passed
away,With ignorance my life-long lot,
I'd not an outcast be today,I'd not be cursing Man and God!
...
I WAS THIRTEEN
