That vague fragrance made my heart ache with longing, and it seemed to me that it was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion. ![]() Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange smell in the south wind. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded. On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying, and I knew it not. Let then the flowers come out in my garden, though it is not their time, and let the midday bees strike up their lazy hum.įull many an hour have I spent in the strife of the good and the evil, but now it is the pleasure of my playmate of the empty days to draw my heart on to him, and I know not why is this sudden call to what useless inconsequence! But I have my untimely leave in the middle of the day, in the thick of work. The speech of my heart will be carried on in murmurings of a song. No more noisy, loud words from me, such is my master’s will. Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose the bliss of the touch of the One in the play of the many. When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut. Through birth and death, in this world or in others, wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same, the one companion of my endless life who ever linkest my heart with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar. I am uneasy at heart when I have to leave my accustomed shelter I forgot that there abides the old in the new, and that there also thou abidest.
