CHAPTER XV

Your speech is simple, my Master, but not theirs who talk of you.

 

I understand the voice of your stars and the silence of your trees.

 

I know that my heart would open like a flower; that my life has filled itself at a hidden fountain¹.

 

Your songs, like birds from the lonely land of snow, are winging to build their nests in my heart against the warmth² of its April, and I am content to wait for the merry season.
