"I know not what ...."

I know not what I seek eternally


on earth, in air, and sky;


I know not what I seek; but it is something


that I have lost, I know not when,


and cannot find, although in dreams invisibly


it dwells in all I touch and see.



Ah bliss! Never can I recapture you


either on earth, in air, or sky,


although I know you have reality


and are no futile dream.
