1. Though I am drawn to it, I have no care
For idle talk, only for truth and prayer.

2. I turn my words to higher, nobler ends—
The loftiest heights of Paradise to share.

3. What are earthly pleasures to me now?
I hasten on, called to realms above.

4. All men are different; do not blame another’s ways.
Hope for the highest; speak with gentle love.
