Translated by A. Z. Foreman - Thou lyrics

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and slender Thou light and tender as the dawn Thou flowering shoot from seed of grandeur Thou wellspring simple and withdrawn Companion on my sunlit meadows All round me in the evening haze Light on my path through coming shadows Thou cooling breeze Thou breath ablaze Thou art my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in every drink I kiss Thy fragrance everywhere Thou flowering shoot from seed of grandeur Thou wellspring simple and withdrawn Thou flaming column pure and slender Thou light and tender as the dawn
