OBEISANCE TO THE TEACHER.

I. (His Teachers).

1. On the peak of the white snow mountain in the East

A white cloud seems to be rising towards the sky.

At the instant of beholding it I remember my teacher

And, pondering over his kindness, faith stirs in me.

2. To the East of where that cloud is floating,

In that entirely victorious Virtue Solitude,

There resided the precious ones, difficult to be invoked,

Father Famous Goodheart, the Sire with (his two spiritual) sons.
