Go thou away ‘beggar Mind’ go thou away
Come not close to me
The absence of your Light draws upon mine own
And steals me away from my path
Go thou away beggar mind, go thou away.
Steal not! O beggar mind steal not
That which I have gathered so hard
The gold and silver that is in my trove
Has been hard fought for
Steal not! O beggar mind, steal not.
Return! O beggar mind
To thy rightful place
Come not close and try to master
That which you are not.
Return! O beggar mind. Return to thy place.
I am Light! O beggar mind, I am Light
And your darkness cannot steal that away
I am Love! O beggar mind, I am Love
And you have no place here to stay.
I use you, O beggar mind, you do not use me.
My Light extends and unlike your absence
My Light gives.
O beggar Mind move away.
Light commands, O beggar Mind, my light commands
In silence wil’st thou stay.
Not a word to be spoke,
O beggar Mind, not a word.
It is in my command the coming of night and day.
How small you are O beggar Mind
And how large you try to show
I am not deceived by thee, O beggar Mind
Return! And keep your place.
It is in my glory that you shine
It is in my glory that you live
Forget not that, O beggar Mind
Steal not my Light away.
You see not truth, you live your lie
You feel not love
Your death is so nigh, O beggar Mind;
Come not close to my Light,
My Light will steal your darkness away.
