this frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life

Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail 
vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with 
fresh life. 
    This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and 
dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. 
    At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its 
limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. 
    Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small 
hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still 
there is room to fill.
