Seeing my door closed, | Seeing my door closed, | ||
You stood by the wayside. | You stood by the wayside. | ||
In sleep, my eyes | In sleep, muddled are my eyes. | ||
Some things I see; some things I see not. | Some things I see; some things I see not. | ||
So | So, damp from the dew at end of night, | ||
You left at dawn, | You left at dawn, drifting off, inchoate. | ||
The jasmine | The jasmine creepers at my gate | ||
Convey Your message even now. | |||
As the dewdrops evaporate, | As the dewdrops evaporate, | ||
They remain alert for Your return. | |||
If at that time | If at that time my door had been open, | ||
If a few words had been privately spoken, | |||
That autumn | That autumn late night, in His melody alone, | ||
Floating aloft, I would have dissolved. | |||
