Matters of life and death Within my heart the Truth of life shines white.

The secret heights of God my soul now climbs;No dole, no sombre pang, no death in my sight.

No mortal days and nights can shake my calm;A Light above sustains my secret soul.All doubts with grief are banished from my deeps,My eyes of light perceive my cherished Goal.

Though in the world, I am above its woe;I dwell in an ocean of supreme release.My mind, a core of the One's unmeasured thoughts;The star vast welkin hugs my Spirit's peace.

My eternal days are found in speeding time;I play upon His Flute of rhapsody.Impossible deeds no more impossible seem;In birth chains now shines Immortality.
