Take On A Thousand Forms

@ Mirabai Ceiba and Markéta Irglová

Take on a thousand forms
hide as you will
Oh most beloved
At once I know it is you

Conceal yourself in magic veils
and still presence in all
at once I know it is you

The cypress thrusting artless
up and young
Beauty in every limb
I know it is you

You in the fountain plume’s unfolding tip
All playful one
What joy to know it is you

When cloud assumes a shape and changes it
One manifold in all
I know it is you

When flowers veil the meadow ground
Oh starry twinkle hued
in beauty you

When on a mountain sparks of dawn appear
At once great gladdener
I welcome you

Then with the sky above rotund and clear
Then opener of the heart
do I breathe you

What with bodily sense and soul I know
Teacher of all
I know alone through you

One hundred names of God I bestow
With each will echo then
a name for you

ॐ Lyrics adapted from a poem by J.W.Goethe ॐ
