Earth Magician i^hapes this world. 



Behold what he can do! 

 Roinid and smooth he molds it. 



Behold what he can do! 

 Earth Magician makes the mountains. 



Heed what he has to say! 

 He it is that makes the mesas. 



Heed what he has to say. 

 Earth Magician shapes this world; 



Earth Magician makes its mountains; 

 Makes all larger, larger, larger. 



Into the earth the Magician glances; 

 Into its mountains he may see.
