Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 2

```

My life of smile

And my life of cry

Shall one day come to an end,

But not my life of hope.

My hope-life is a rope of sand.

Alas, I know it,

And yet I know it not.

Why do I waver so much?

Why do I see all around me

Fruitless and false love?

O Lord, only one desire I have:

May my sweet, eternal thirst

Find its proper place in You, for You.

```
