The harp gives forth murmurous music;
 and the dance goes on 
  without hands and feet.
It is played without fingers, 
 it is heard without ears:
  for He is the ear,
  and He is the listener.
The gate is locked, 
 but within there is fragrance:
  and there the meeting is seen of none.
The wise shall understand it.
-- Kabir
(from Songs of Kabir,
edited by R. Tagore and E. Underhill)
