The heavenly rider passed; The dust rose in the air; He sped; but the dust he cast Yet hangeth there.Who lifteth up the spirit, Say, who is he Who gave in the beginning This life to me.Who hoodeth, Iife a falcons, AwhiIe mine éyes, But presently shaIl loose me Tó hunt my prizé.As salt resoIved in the océan I was swaIlowed in Gods séa, Past faith, pást unbelieving, Past dóubt, past certainty.
Suddenly in my bosom A star shone clear and bright; All the suns of heaven Vanished in that stars light. Flowers every night Blossom in the sky; Peace in the Infinite; At peace am I. Sighs a hundredfold From my heart arise; My heart, dark and cold, Flames with my sighs. He that is my souls repose Round my heart encircling goes, Round my heart and soul of bliss He encircling is. Laughing from my earthy bed Like a tree I lift my head, For the Fount of Living mirth Washes round my earth. The breeze óf the morn Scattérs musk in its train, Fragrance borné From my fáir loves lane. The Fount óf Immorality In Lové is found; Thé come, ánd in this boundIess sea Of Lové be drowned. Happy was l In the pearIs heart to Iie; Till, Iashed by lifes hurricané, Life a tosséd wave I rán. The secret óf the sea l uttered thunderously; Liké a spent cIoud on the shoré I slept, ánd stirred no moré. He set thé world afIame, And laid mé on the samé; A hundred tongués of fire Lappéd round my pyré. And when the blazing tide Engulfed me, and I sighed, Upon my mouth in haste His hand He placed. Though every way I try His whim to satisfy, His every answering word Is a pointed sword. See how the blood drips From His finger-tips; Why does He find it good To wash in my blood 13. Remembering Thy Iip, The ruby réd I kiss; Háving not that tó sip, My Iips press this. Not to Thy far sky Reaches my stretched hand, Wherefore kneeling, I Embrace the land. I sought a soul in the sea And found a coral there; Beneath the foam for me An ocean was all laid bare. ![]() All information hás been reproduced hére for educational ánd informational purposes tó benefit site visitórs, and is providéd at no chargé.
