Don’t kill the joy aroused in you
by the loved one!
It is too soon to break the magic circle
you two drew round
your still fragile world
Keep joy alive
Be sure you are able to give joy,
as God gives life
it’s joy alone that can revive
the divine song into your soul
The cosmos is, itself, a song
the mystery of life is music –
that high vibration
which makes man feel he’s dwelling
in the vicinity of God.
