O YOU WHOM I OFTEN AND SILENTLY COME.

O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are that I may          be with you,

As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same room          with you,

Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is play-          ing within me.
