Sorrow⁴

```

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You have given me a pure heart.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You have granted me a wise mind.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You have given me a brave vital and a sleepless body.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You have given me two most precious gifts:

Patience-seed and perseverance-fruit.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You warn me timely, you correct me soulfully

And you perfect me unreservedly.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

You have taught me how to walk along the road of Truth.

You have taught me the secret of self-giving.

You have given me universal Love

So that I can become the Transcendental Soul.

Sorrow, my sorrow, my world-sorrow,

It is from your infinite bounty

That I have developed an eternal hunger to devour

The infinite Light and Delight of my Beloved Supreme.
