The Shadow of Light
Defend me against opposite forces,
The night, while asleep, when I'm unconscious,
when my path becomes undefined,
And never abandon me,
Please, never abandon me!
Take me back to the highest places,
in one of your realms of stillness:
The time has come to leave this cycle of lives,
And never abandon me,
Please, never abandon me!
Because the joys of the deepest love
Or the ones of the softest yearnings of the heart
Are just the shadow of light.
Remember me, how unhappy I am
When I stand far from your laws;
How not to waste the time left,
And never abandon me,
Please, never abandon me!
Because the peace I've felt in some monasteries
Or the quivering harmony of all my senses filled with rapture
Are just the shadow of light.
