You who gave me a gaze toward the skies
To reach the higher ends, dive in the Sun,
You who gave me a mind heavenly and vast
To measure the measureless, its awesome gaps afar.
You who tied us, took hold of my soul,
Instilling in there the endless, its joy,
Lit up a smile on my forehead so broad,
Lit up and embellished with exuberant glow.
With unwavering eye, with unfaltering soul,
I read endlessly your lofty calls,
I read in the mornings joyful and bright,
And in the nights terrific and grand.
And my soul dissolves in the height with joy,
No near or apart, no high or low anymore,
The entire Universe is a homeland and home,
And myself – a free, an indifferent God.
