I THREW AWAY my heart in the world; you took it up. I sought for joy and gathered sorrow, you gave me sorrow and I found joy. My heart was scattered in pieces, you picked them up in your hand and strung them in a thread of love. You let me wander from door to door to show me at last how near you are. Your love plunged me into the deep trouble. When I raised my head I found I was at your door.
YOU HAVE drunk the draught of songs that I poured for you, and accepted the garland of my woven dreams. My heart straying in the wilderness was ever touched by the pain that was your own touch. When my days are done, my leave-taking hushed in a final silence, my voice will linger in the autumn light and rain-laden clouds with the message that we had met.
