1 From all the fret and fever of the day,
let there be moments when we turn away,
and, deaf to all confusing outer din,
intently listen for the voice within.

2 In quietness and solitude we find
the soundless wisdom of the deeper mind;
with clear harmonious purpose let us then
bring richer meaning to the world again.
