In mind and heart I've yearned for Thee,
My complete existence as offering,
At thickest night or light-dripping morning,
With passionate metrics and melody.
I have nothing more to lose;
In return for everything, I want You only.
The song of my soul, my fervent entreaty,
Within You it has bloomed.
Yourself had I forgot for so long a time;
Intent on matter, I was bound to static things.
Failing to peer inward, I have simply
Gone and gazed upon the outside.

Now that I've looked within, my goal in life is clear.
