Whether grief or joy—it is you; you are my very life.
In the midst of calamities,
you are the hour of peace.
The lamp of my night,
my sleep as well is you.
In all the years of my life
The only shortcoming is you

"Say every candle, every flickering lamp dies out.
No reason to despair.
Within us, we carry the flint and steel to spark a flame."
