Everyone shows himself to me today
From the most favorable side.
And from near and far the dear ones
Have touchingly written to me
And have presented me with all
That such a gourmand thinks about,
That for the man in years
Can still come into consideration.
Everyone approaches with sweet tunes
To beauty for me the day.
Even the beggars without number
Dedicate to me their madrigal.
Therefore I feel elated
Like the proud eagle.
Now the day approaches the end
I pay to you my compliment.
You have made everything well,
And the lovely sun laughs.
-A. Einstein
