IN THE WORLD'S dusty road I lost my heart, but you picked it up in your hand. I gleaned sorrow while seeking for joy, but the sorrow which you sent to me has turned to joy in my life. My desires were scattered in pieces, you gathered them and strung them in your love. And while I wandered from door to door, every step led me to your gate.
LET THY LOVE play upon my voice and rest on my silence. Let it pass through my heart into all my movements. Let thy love like stars shine in the darkness of my sleep and dawn in my awakening. Let it burn in the flame of my desires And flow in all currents of my own love. Let me carry thy love in my life as a harp does its music, and give it back to thee at last with my life.
