As in sunshine gleam the ripples

That the cold wind makes in rivers.

Smiles the earth, and smiles the waters,

Smile the cloudless skies above us,

But I lose the way of smiling

When thou art no longer near me!

I myself, myself, behold me!

Blood of my beating heart, behold me!

O awake, awake, beloved!

Onaway! awake, beloved!
