- Earth - Air - Water - Fire -

                                    God created the earth
                                    everything has a logic
                                    A gorgeous place, but
                            affected by blameworthy choice

                                       Lend us clean air
                                       its touch so light
                               Breathe... the lungs satisfied
                                         a gift so dear

                                  Life-giving water stream
                                       You fill your glass
                                      a matter of course
                              Several different water qualities

                                      The red fire blazes
                                           is it for love
                                          or is it hate ?
                                    Eyes with tender tears
