I fear and hope – I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind yet cannot rise
There’s nothing I have that the world can take from
I’m free yet locked inside this prison
The night has a thousand eyes
Yet the light of the whole world shines
Like a dying sun
I wish to perish yet I ask for health
I love another yet I hate myself
I feed in sorrow; I laugh at my pains
Without eyes I see without tongue I claim
The mind has a thousand eyes
Yet the light of the whole life shines
Like a dying sun
I cannot be held yet I escape no wise
It lets me not live or face my demise
And my delight is the cause of my grief
I climb yet I fall while I cling to a leaf
The night has a thousand eyes
Yet the light of the whole world shines
Like a dying sun
