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
