Your age-long hunger
Lord, today You areMy most distinguished guest.
Alas, how can I offer You my food,
    My ignorance-night?
"Son, I am terribly hungry;
  Just give Me what you have.
My cosmic hunger cares not for taste;
  It cares only for food.
Soon I shall invite you to be My guest.
  I shall give you My food, Nectar-flood.
Like Me, you too must not care for taste,
  But for satisfaction
    Of your age-long hunger."
