Wherefore have I longings	A
When to live them strength is lacking	B
And wherefore see I	C
If I see but sorrow	D
	-
Flight of my eye to the great and distant	E
Dooms it to gales of darkening doubt	F
But fleeing backward to the present	E
It's prisoned in pain and pity	G
	-
For I see a land with no leader	H
I see a leader with no land	I
The land how heavy laden	J
The leader how high his longing	B
	-
Might the men but know it	K
That he is here among them	L
But they see a man in fetters	M
And leave him to lie there	N
	-
Round the ship a storm is raging	B
At the rudder stands a fool Who can save it	K
He who below the deck is longing	B
Half dead and in fetters	M
	-
Looking upward	O
	-
Hear how they call Thee	G
And come with arms uplifted	P
They have their savior at hand	I
And Thou sayest it never	H
	-
Shall they then all thus perish	Q
Because the one seems absent	E
Wilt Thou not let the fool die	C
That life may endure in many	G
	-
What means that solemn saying	B
	-
One	J
shall suffer for many	G
But many suffer for one	J
Oh what means it	K
	-
The wisdom Thou gavest	K
Wearies me with guesswork	R
The light Thou hast dealt me	G
Leads me to darkness	S
	-
Not me alone moreover	H
But millions and millions	T
Space unending spans not all the questions	T
From earth here and up toward heaven	J
	-
Weakness cowers in walls of cloisters	M
But wills of power press onward	K
And thronging with longing	B
They thrust one another out of the lands	U
	-
Whither Before their eyes is night	K
'In Nazareth a light is set ' one says aloud	K
A hundred thousand say it	K
All see it now To Nazareth	V
	-
But the half part perish from hunger by the wayside	K
The other half by the sword of the heathen	J
The pest awaits the pilgrim in Nazareth	V
Wast Thou there or wast Thou not there	N
	-
Oh where art Thou	W
The whole world now awakens	T
And on the way is searching	B
And seeking after Thee	G
	-
Or wast Thou in the hunger	H
Wast Thou in the pest	K
Wast Thou in the sword of the heathen	J
	-
Saltest Thou with the salt of wrath	X
Refinest Thou with suffering's fire	H
Hast Thou millions of millions hidden in Thy future	H
Whom Thou thus wilt save to freedom	Y
	-
Oh to them are the thousands that now suffer	H
But	K
one	J
	-
And that one I would beseech Thee for	Z
Nothing	B
	-
I follow a little brook	A2
And find it leads to an ocean	J
I see here a little drop	B2
And swelling in mist it mounts a mighty cloud	K
	-
See how I'm tossed so will less	C2
By troublous waves of doubt	K
The wind overturned my little boat	K
The wreck is all my refuge	D2
	-
Lead me lead me	G
I see nowhere land	K
Lift me lift me	G
I nowhere footing find	K
