Awake, awake,
You give what you take.
Reading, churning, questing
One step to death' sting.

Saunter, saunter,
Mind slips and wanders.
Beauty, goodness, truth
Gambling away my youth.

Sing, sing,
Strange thoughts you bring.
Spirit, Wisdom, Fire
Teased, unsated desire.

Feeling, feeling,
The One ever revealing.
Tension, strife, reward,
Revelation acting as sword.

Sleep, sleep,
Wondrous things do creep.
Growing, slowing, showing,
Hidden things a'glowing.
