As many scores of rivers
Enter into the sea,
So the understanding of the world
Has come unto me.
Is born unto me,
An aching love
Is burning my heart,
A passionate desire
Is consuming my being.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy changing sorrows,
From thy dying love.
I have found the way.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy little Gods,
From thy interpreters thereof.
I have found the way.�
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy fleeting passions,
From thy decaying achievements.
I have found the way.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy prison of pain,
From thy keepers thereof.
I have found the way.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy burning desires,
From thy agonies therein.
I have found the way.
|
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From the false,
From the burdens thereof.
I have found the way.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
From thy kneeling,
From the holding up of thy sad hands,
The temple walls are falling.
I have found the way.
Come away,
Come away,
O world,
For all things perish,
Though thy soft tears
Wash away thy memories.
I have found the way.
Seized am I
With a burning passion
To free thee
From thy cage,
For I have found the way.
The bird is on the wing,
And his voice fills my heart.
The vast firmament,
The limitless space,
Enfold me.
I am thy lover,
I am thy teacher,
Renounce all
And follow me,
For my way
Is the way of Liberation.
Come,
Come away,
O love,
Sit beside me;
I will teach thee
The way to Happiness.
