1. O object of my gaze, O focus of my sight
O home of my secret thoughts and plight

2. O essence of my whole, that I hold dear
Above my other parts, to me most near

3. Do you now mourn for one whose heart is caught
In talons clenched of an ensnaring bird?

4. His Lord confused, forlorn and lonesome feels
Escaping from one wasteland to another field

5. Unknowing, on he roams, while mysteries
Like lightning’s flash, race through him swift as breeze

6. In sea of thought's dark depths they run their course
Rays of the Mighty's power, their motivating force
