1. O very soul of my life—by Him through whose abiding

    I abide—I have grown ardently yearning for you.

  2. You dwell within my heart; yet it is my eye

    that, seeing you, receives the boon that banishes misery.

  3. Never did I think you would forsake me forever,

    even were I to become, among all humankind, a castaway.

  4. Subtleties of meaning lie in seeing face to face, and cannot

    be grasped except through mutual visits and meeting.

Sol 5.6
