Makes the clouds in your heart explode and blaze,

That the dawn surrounds me with light from delight in me,
Is this true?
That the touch of my hot cheek intoxicates the breeze,
My ever-loving friend,
Is this true?

That daylight hides in the dark of my hair,
That my arms hold life and death in their power,

That my voice makes the world fall silent to hear me,
Is this true?
That the univrse is nothing but me and what loves me,

Through worlds and ages awake and wandering,
