Oh! to give it a name,
Or else define it!
If only I could
Be able to find it!
Yet I know it is there
Like the air all around me;
With intangible bonds
It has strongly bound me.
Like an absolute obsession
It does pervade me ;
I cannot escape it
So helpless it's made me!



What are you, O nameless desire?
Could you but speak
Unveil the mist, reveal yourself ;
Do not evade me, 'cause it's you that I seek!
