Do the clouds make the rain?
Or the rain make the clouds?
Whose bounty bestows them?
Who is it sits with nothing to do as in ecstasy he urges them?
The winds rise in the north,
Blow west,blow east,
And now again whirl high above.
Who breathes them out,who breathes them in?
Who is it sits with nothing to do and sweeps between and over them?[5]
