Light, my light, the world-filling light
The eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life;
The light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love;
The sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light
Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling
And it scatters gems in profusion
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling
And gladness without measure
The heaven's river has drowned its banks
And the flood of joy is abroad
