Текст песни IV. Love-Song (Spring Suite) - Mary Bichner

Nearer to thy mother-heart
Simple Nature, press me
Let me know thee as thou art
Fill my soul and bless me!
I have loved thee long and well
I have loved thee heartily
Shall I never with thee dwell
Never be at one with thee?

Inward, inward to thy heart
Kindly Nature, take me
Lovely even as thou art
Full of loving make me!
Thou knowest naught of dead-cold forms
Knowest naught of littleness
Lifeful Truth thy being warms
Majesty and earnestness

Homeward, homeward to thy heart
Dearest Nature, call me
Let no halfness, no mean part
Any longer thrall me
I will be thy lover true
Will be a faithful soul
Then circle me, then look me through
Fill me with the mighty Whole
