146. What do the teachers teach?

Death’s lifeless night I was.
Life’s endless day I am.
God’s ceaseless Bliss I shall be.

Night taught me how to sigh.
Day teaches me how to try.
Bliss shall teach me how to cry.

I taught night how to surrender.
I teach day how to endeavour.
I shall teach Bliss how to devour.
