In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.

The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: "I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth."

Let my doing nothing when I have nothing to do, become untroubled in its depth of peace, like the evening in the seashore when the water is silent.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

On each race is laid the duty to keep alight its own lamp of mind as its part in the illumination of the world. To break the lamp of any people into deprive it of its rightful place in the world festival.
