Earning

Misery has a voice louder than joy, in firming
as in transposing of the soul,
its journey ne'er returning,
cannot but guess then, where my yearning!

Have I foretold new grace, as candle burning
to so proceed my cause, enlightened learning,
I hear thy sound and closest to my  heart
faith finds sojourning ~

That circle's parting would destroy
my strengths concerning.
So love, it is apart that nothing turns
 ~ but turning!

And it is close that then
my effort knows thy earning!
