All men to me are god-like Gods!
     My eyes no longer see
     vice or fault.

Life on this suffering earth
     is now endless delight;
     the heart at rest, full,
                         overflowing.

In the mirror, the face and its reflection --
     they watch each other;
     different, but one.

And, when the stream pours into the ocean...
     no more stream!
