Thou flaming column pure and slender
Thou light and tender as the dawn
Thou flowering shoot from seed of grandeur
Thou wellspring simple and withdrawn
Companion on my sunlit meadows
All round me in the evening haze
Light on my path through coming shadows
Thou cooling breeze Thou breath ablaze
Thou art my wish and all I think
I breathe of Thee in all my air
I savor Thee in every drink
I kiss Thy fragrance everywhere
Thou flowering shoot from seed of grandeur
Thou wellspring simple and withdrawn
Thou flaming column pure and slender
Thou light and tender as the dawn
