BONDS? INDEED they are bonds, this love and this hope in our hearts. They are as mother's arms pressing the child to the warmth of her bosom. Thirst? Yes, it is the thirst which leads life to each source of its joy in the breasts of the eternal mother. Who would take from the child this thirst of his growing life and break through the bonds of the mother's encircling arms?
WHAT IS THIS melody that overflows nay life, only I know and my heart knows. Why I watch and wait, what I beg and from whom, only I know and my heart knows. The morning smiles like a friend at my gate, the evening droops down like a flower by the edge of the woods. The flute music floats in the air in the dawn and in the dusk. It beguiles my thoughts away from my toils. What is this tune and who plays it ever, only I know and my heart knows.
