2 Her voice is very soft and sweet,

Her heart is brave and strong;

Her vassal, I would fain repeat

Some fragments of her song.

A Birthday-song my heart would sing

Its rapture to express;

My Father’s son must be a king,

And share His consciousness.

Of God’s Self-knowledge comes the Word

That utters all His Thought;

That Word made Flesh by all is heard

Who seek as they are sought.
