You are clad in the radiance of a pole-star, piercing through the darkness of time.
You become an embodiment of what is forever remembered.
You and I have drifted together on the stream that flows from the source
At the heart of time, where one love for another flourishes.
We have floated alongside countless lovers, shared in the same timid sweetness of encounter,
The same sorrowful tears of parting –
Love, old and ever-renewing in its forms.
Now, it is gathered at your feet, finding its conclusion in you.
This is the love of all the days of man, both past and eternal.
Joy, sorrow, life – universal,
