BLESSINGS HAVE I won in this life of the Beautiful. In the vessel of man's affection I taste His own divine nectar. Sorrow, hard to bear, has shown me the unhurt, unconquered soul. On the day when I felt death's impending shadow, fear's defeat has not been mine. The great ones of the Earth have not deprived me of their touch, their undying words have I stored in my heart. Grace I had from the god of life: this memory let me leave in grateful words.
I HAVE COME TO thee to take thy touch before I begin my day. Let thy eyes rest upon my eyes for awhile. Let me take to my work the assurance of thy comradeship, my friend. Fill my mind with thy music to last through the desert of noise! Let thy Love's sunshine kiss the peaks of my thoughts and linger in my life's valley where the harvest ripens.
