To receive from the world
Its glittering but fleeting riches,
Even so you can lift your heart upward
To receive from Above
Light and Delight in infinite measure.

And a spiritual dawn he saw.

How can I make lightning progress

Do the right thing
And become the perfect thing
With a nameless life
And an expectation-empty breath.”

And that boon is
A beauty-flooded dawn of joy.

Is the only treasure

That my Lord Supreme cherishes

And will forever cherish.
