Never, with joy, have I gazed toward joy,
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
After you, no other form did employ,
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
I know your waiting is my destined art,
I know your waiting, true.
My whole life long, the clock held no heart,
After you, no other view.
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
For her, I journey, to lands afar,
For her, my soul takes flight.
Departing, never glanced towards her star,
After you, my guiding light.
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
No tear-stained face shall stay my feet,
No weeping shall I heed.
Departing, turned not back to greet,
After you, my heart's creed.
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
Here, all are lovers of the flowing stream,
Here, all seek the cascade's grace.
No one has looked upon the desert dream,
After you, my resting place.
Never, with joy, have I gazed.
