...Praised be You, my Lord with all Your creatures
Especially our brother, Master Sun
Who brings the day and the light
that warms us

he that is beautiful and radiant
In all his splendour!
He brings meaning of You, O Most High.

...Praised be You, my Lord
For our sister Mother Earth
Who feeds and governs us,
And produces various fruits
And coloured flowers and plants

...
