• Seek me in the east,
    My love,
    When all is said and done.
    Seek me in the east,
    Dear heart,
    When your time has come.
    Seek me in the east,
    Fair one,
    Once the race is run;
    And know
    I go
    Within the kingly sun.

    Seek me in the south,
    My child,
    When night turns into day.
    Seek me in the south,
    My doll,
    When you learn to play.
    Seek me in the south,
    Sweet one,
    When you can make love stay;
    And know
    I go
    Alone through ev'ry day.

    Seek me in the west,
    My friend,
    When master turns to slave.
    Seek me in the west,
    My dear,
    When you join the brave.
    Seek me in the west,
    My sweet,
    When you find the wave;
    And know
    I go
    Into an early grave.

    Seek me in the north,
    My love,
    When the fair winds blow.
    Seek me in the north,
    My child,
    when late twilights glow.
    Seek me in the north,
    My friend,
    When my wings dip low;
    And know
    I go--
    Where, I cannot know.
