My brother died;
We were as two stars in a naked sky.

He was like me,
Burnt by the warm sun
In the land where are soft breezes,
Swaying palms,
And cool rivers,
Where there are shadows numberless,
Bright-coloured parrots and chattering birds.

Where green tree-tops
Dance in the brilliant sun;
Where there are golden sands
And blue-green seas:

Where the world
lives in the burden of the sun,
And the earth is baked dull brown;
Where the green-sparkling rice fields
Are luscious in slimy waters,
And shining, brown, naked bodies
Are free in the dazzling light:

The land
Of the mother suckling her babe by the roadside;
Of the devout lover
Offering gay flowers;
Of the wayside shrine;
Of intense silence;
Of immense peace.
He died;
I wept in loneliness.
Where'er I went,
I heard his voice
And his happy laughter.
I looked for his face
In every passer-by
And asked each if he had met with my brother;
But none could give me comfort.

I worshipped,
I prayed,
But the gods were silent.
I could weep no more;
No more could I dream.
I sought him in all things,
In every clime.

I heard the whispering of many trees
Calling me to his abode.

And then,
In my search,
I beheld Thee,
O Lord of my heart;
In Thee alone
I saw the face of my brother.

In Thee alone,
O my eternal Love,
Do I behold the faces
Of all the living and all the dead.
In Thee alone,
O my eternal Love.
