I AM restless। I am athirst for far-away things.
My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance।
O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore।
I am eager and wakeful, I am a stranger in a strange land।
Thy breath comes to me whispering an impossible hope।
Thy tongue is known to my heart as its very own।
O Far-to-seek, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that I know not the way, that I have not the winged horse.
I am listless, I am a wanderer in my heart।
In the sunny haze of the languid hours, what vast vision of thine takes shape in the blue of the sky!
O Farthest end, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that the gates are shut everywhere in the house where I dwell alone!
