Original text and translations

English text

If all the seas were one sea
What a great sea that would be!
And if all the trees were one tree
What a great tree that would be!
If all the men were one man
What a great man he would be!
And if all the axes were one axe
What a great axe that would be!
    And if the great man
    Took the great axe
    And cut down the great tree,
    And let it fall into the great sea,
What a splish-splash that would be!
