My eyes roam searchingly for beauty

Hugo Wolf

My eyes roam searchingly for beauty,

And bliss the soul is searching for as well;

They path towards heaven's realm,

Lies before them only when they're open.

Down from the highest seas of stars above

A glimmer shines

That leads the instinct upward;

We call it love! Nothing

Else will ever turn to flame! Fervor

and clarity arise forever in noble hearts

Through eyes that are like stars on earth!
