Time says the cloud "I am on my way" Says night
The sea says “I have touched my shore —
myself I am no more”
Sorrow says “Stay will I as His footprint”
This self says “I dissolve, nothing more do I wish”
The world says “For you I wreathe a garland”
The sky says “For you I’ve lit a thousand lamps”
Love says “For you it is I stay awake through aeons”
Death says “It is I who row your life-boat”
The sea says “I have touched my shore —
myself I am no more”
Sorrow says “Stay will I as His footprint”
This self says “I dissolve, nothing more do I wish”
The world says “For you I wreathe a garland”
The sky says “For you I’ve lit a thousand lamps”
Love says “For you it is I stay awake through aeons”
Death says “It is I who row your life-boat”
