laugh, birds sing, and streams dance with joy! O that<br />

Light of lights! <strong>The</strong> sea of Light is flowing! <strong>The</strong> breeze of<br />

Bliss is blowing!<br />

In this beautiful forest, I laugh and sing, clap hands,<br />

and dance.<br />

Did they jeer? It was the blowing of the breeze. Did they<br />

sneer? It was the hissing of leaves. Shall I be<br />

overshadowed by my own life pulsating in the streams<br />

cedars, birds, and breezes?<br />

checkering the moon-lit bed and flickering so playfully<br />

as if they were nice little dreams<br />
