A torch I kindled in the darkness 5 To lead you to my starry gate, With seeds of light in shining handfuls The furrows of your night to sate. I stand amid the trackless stretches And hail you in the wilderness; 10 But lost in dark and dreary caverns My cry sinks silent, answerless. http://www.bartleby.com/164/71.html Ben Hecht (1893 – 04/18/1964) US writer screenwriter, novelist, journalist director, producer, playwright in collaboration with Charles MacArthur.

There where I could drink up the source of bliss, That's where I'd find my love and happiness. And that's the ideal good my soul desires, Nameless on earth, to which my heart aspires. Would that the god of Sun take me to where You dwell, object of love with you I share. Why should I tarry in earthly exile? Nothing to share on this my desert isle. And when the leaves fall down on the prairies To be flown off the vale by evening breeze, Just as a wilted leaf I'll be forlorn. O, northerly, take me with you, windborne. Translated by Thomas D.
