• I lie in the dark and yet I see.
  I look and see the black darkness, so heavy.
  I look again and then a sparkle!
  A tiny glowing spot of light.
  
  
• Weak and weary, I keep the gaze,
  Admiring the light so inviting.
  With a will so weak and beaten,
  I in staggering steps the light pursue.
  
  
• I see only, but the beam of light,
  Oh, my little beam of light so charming,
  I see you clearer and bigger now,
  My spot of light.
  
  
• If I had known you a little earlier,
  Then would I have seen you alone.
  My efforts will I master,
  To unearth the friend in you.
  
  
• Amazed and charmed I keep the gaze,
  My beam of light no more a fickle,
  My force multiplier, a friend I’ve found.
  
  
• Now will I look forever more,
  Till the darkness all to banish,
  Then I’ll glow with you my light,
  United, together, life’s end to fulfil.
  
  
• Seek thy light even in the dark, my dear,
  That hopeful beam you sure must find,
  Only a trifle long the search must keep.
