Will you hear my voice, my faraway one?
Will you hear my voice, wherever you are—
A voice calling with might, a voice weeping in my silence,
And from beyond time commanding a blessing?
This world is vast, and many are the roads in it;
They meet for a moment, then part forever.
A man seeks, yet his feet stumble—
He cannot find what has been lost.
Perhaps my final days are already near;
Already near is the day of tears of parting.
I will wait for you until my life is quenched,
As Rachel waited for her beloved.
