The Window |
| Why do you stand by the window |
| Abandoned to beauty and pride |
| The thorn of the night in your bosom |
| The spear of the age in your side |
| Lost in the rages of fragrance |
| Lost in the rags of remorse |
| Lost in the waves of a sickness |
| That loosens the high silver nerves |
| Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love |
| Oh tangle of matter and ghost |
| Oh darling of angels, demons and saints |
| And the whole broken-hearted host |
| Gentle this soul |
| And come forth from the cloud of unknowing |
| And kiss the cheek of the moon |
| The New Jerusalem glowing |
| Why tarry all night in the ruin |
| And leave no word of discomfort |
| And leave no observer to mourn |
| But climb on your tears and be silent |
| Like a rose on its ladder of thorns |
| Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love… |
| Oh tangle of matter and ghost |
| Oh darling of angels, demons and saints |
| And the whole broken-hearted host |
| Gentle this soul |
| Then lay your rose on the fire |
| The fire give up to the sun |
| The sun give over to splendour |
| In the arms of the high Holy One |
| For the Holy One dreams of a letter |
| Dreams of a letter’s death |
| Oh bless the continuous stutter |
| Of the word being made into flesh |
| Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love |
| Oh tangle of matter and ghost |
| Oh darling of angels, demons and saints |
| And the whole broken-hearted host |
| Gentle this soul |
| Gentle this soul |
| Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love |
| Oh tangle of matter and ghost |
| Oh darling of angels, demons and saints |
| And the whole broken-hearted host |
