Still, finding splendid lands you’ll learn—
the pallid mind, the empty heart never turn whole.
You’ll find the tall trees forever cold—
a chill that seeps into your bones and mind that always reminds you.
And soon you’ll discover as you gaze to the deep night sky—
This journey must one day end.
That day, not one thing will be found in your hands.
Returning home, they ridicule empty hands.
Returning home, you hear mocking tones—
Returning home, the sun will set once more on a listless world.
Do not take the mocking to heart.
Within your ears and heart, higher voices will dwell forever.
And after your journey, you will hold treasures more precious than gems.
