The Arc
The rahau: the One came on His own, in natural ease; knowing nothing and showing nothing, I met Him with an open heart and was filled with peace. The first verse: joined by good fortune to the holy company, I rest at home within, where the treasure of virtue has shown itself. The close: in love with the One, I set all else aside; He fills every place, and I sing with delight.
