Translate the poem

If all the seas were one sea,

What a great sea that would be!

If all the trees were one tree,

What a great tree that would be!

If all the axes were one axe,

What a great ax that would be!

If all the men were one man,

What a great man that would be!

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!

Compare your translation with the translation of Marshack.

Кабы реки и озера слить бы в озеро одно,

А из всех деревьев бора сделать дерево одно,

Топоры бы все расплавить

И отлить один топор,

А из всех людей на свете человека выше гор,

Кабы взяв топор могучий этот грозный великан

Этот ствол обрушил с кручи в это море океан-

То-то громкий был бы треск,

То-то шумный был бы плеск!
