Who made the world? / Who made the swan, and the black bear? / Who made the grasshopper?...
Something wrong with the clip?

Blue Iris:
The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver: Who made the world? / Who made the swan, and the black bear? / Who made the grasshopper? / This grasshopper, I mean - / the one who has flung herself out of the grass, / the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, / who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down - / who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. / Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. / Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. / I don't know exactly what a prayer is. / I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down / into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, / how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, / which is what I have been doing all day. / Tell me, what else should I have done? / Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? / Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?
