You and I
I know not, care not, how you came to be;Nor why you toil; nor to what end you move.
It is enough that in the heart of me
You are a lamp of light, a flame of love.
It is enough for me that for my sake
Your springs of life are ceaselessly renewed.
It is enough that in each breath I take
I am sustained by your infinitude.
It is enough that because you are you
I am whate'er I am; that you, the Whole,
For ever and for ever streaming through
The channel of my being, are my soul.
You are the riddle which will ne'er be guessed.
You are the answer hidden in my breast.
