The wind bids me leave you!
Less hasty am I than the wind
Yet go I must!
No sunrise finds us
Where sunset left us
We are, in our ripeness
Our fullness of heart
Given to the wind and scattered

Brief were my days among you
But should my voice fade in your ears
My love vanish from your memory
Then I will come again
With a richer heart
With lips more yielding to the Spirit
Will I speak
Though death may hide me
The greater silence enfold me!
Yet again will I seek your understanding

And not in vain
Truth shall reveal itself
In a clearer voice
And in words more akin
To your thoughts

I go with the wind
But not down into emptiness
Needs change, but not love
Nor desire that love should satisfy one's needs
From the greater silence I shall return

The mists that drift away at dawn
Leaving but dew in the fields
Shall rise and gather into a cloud
And then fall down like rain
And not unlike the mists
Have I been

In the stillness of the night
I have walked in your streets
My spirit has entered your houses
And your heartbeats were in my heart
Your breath upon my face
And I knew you all

I knew your joy
And your pain
In your sleep
Your dreams were my dreams
Your breath upon my face
And I knew you all

I knew your joy
And your pain
In your sleep
Your dreams were my dreams
In your sleep
Your dreams
Were my dreams
