This light that shades my way,

And keeps me from the sun,

So that never must I run,

To escape the burning day.

--

This light, it is my heart,

It lights my life with dreams

Sees me slumber softly seems,

On paths that fork and part.

--

And so it joys my night,

Every dark that ever dwelled,

It keeps all danger quelled –

This heart, this hope, this light.
