As out of the deep womb of a mountain
Is born a swift-running stream;
So out of the aching depths of my heart
Has come forth joyous love,
The perfume of the world.
Through the sunlit valleys rush the waters,
Entering lake upon lake,
Ever wandering, never still;
So is my love,
Emptying itself from heart to heart.
As the waters move sadly
Through the dark, cavernous valley;
So has my love become dull
Through the shame of easy desire.
As the tall trees are destroyed
By the strong rush of waters
That have nourished their deep roots;
So has my love torn cruelly
The heart of its rejoicing.
I have shattered the very rock on which I grew.
And as the wide river
Now escapes to the dancing sea,
Whose waters know no bondage;
So is my love in the perfection of its freedom.1
