Dance, my heart! Dance today with joy. The strains of love fill the days and the nights with MUSIC, and the world is listening to its melodies: mad with JOY, life and death dance to the rhythm of this music.
Where to next: the MUSIC or the JOY?

Here is the full poem:
XXXII
II. 103. nâco re mero man, matta hoy
Dance, my heart! dance to-day with joy.
The strains of love fill the days and the nights with music, and
the world is listening to its melodies:
Mad with joy, life and death dance to the rhythm of this music.
The hills and the sea and the earth dance. The world of man
dances in laughter and tears.
Why put on the robe of the monk, and live aloof from the world in
lonely pride?
Behold! my heart dances in the delight of a hundred arts; and
the Creator is well pleased.
