Oh! Silence, why breathing on me sadness, Oh! Silence why trickling my faith, Oh! Silence, why shading my light and hiding my pride, You harmed me for no cause and scorched my leaves like the hot afternoon sun, given me vinegar instead of wine, Oh! Sound, where are you, where have you been, why taking too much time to respond, Oh! Sound, echo to me the mind of silence, Oh! Sound, reveal unto me the hidings of the wise and the power of the unknown, For you are the pillar of the hidings and the joy of the living.
