I know thee as my God and stand apart, —
I know thee not as my own and come closer. I know
thee as my father and bow to thy feet, I grasp not thy
hand as my friend.
I stand not where in thy simple great love thou
camest down and didst own thyself as mine, there
to clasp thee to my heart and take thee as my comrade.
Thou art the Brother amongst my brother
but I heed them not. I divide not my earnings
with then thus sharing my all with thee.
In pleasure and in pain I stand not by the
side of men and thus stand by thee. My life to
give up I shrink and thus miss to plunge into the
ocean of life.
