English —
Wonderful storehouse
Panoply of meaning,
Arsenal unsearchable
Of vehement expression.

Come, let me search the ancient books and scrolls
And find the perfect words, perfect actors for their rôles,

Push back the heavy two-leaved doors,
And pass the pillars of fire,
Search the thousand-thousand stores
A thousand years acquired.

Brother —
How shall I name you?
What words well-forged
Will bear the weight
Of what you are, what word?

Come, let us show the meanings unrevealed,
That words, by our true lives, a greater weight will wield;
'Life-lifting love', and 'true good-will',
'To understand another',
Shall then the words more richly fill
When one shall say “My Brother.”
