A lotus of shining gold has bloomed today on this earth,
spreading its sweet fragrance all around
to regale my heart and mind.
Come unto me, sweet fragrance floating in the breeze.
Come and see, black bees plunder all pollen.
My restless heart cannot be assuaged.
Look all and see how determined is He to love.
My eyes are downcast with their diffident love.
Bring that lotus unto my heart.
All the honey of my life overflows
with the thought of that supreme one.
