I saw him not in suavest suit For he is coy at a disguise And disguise is mastery in that place Infested by swarms of spies Those wretched parasites on haunch Of Beauty who inspires lullabies
He sauntered 'mongst that drifting crowd In worksmen's clothes and cap A pair of aviators on To beguile the crowd perhaps He cocked his head and stared at me My heart swooped soared and clapped
I never saw a man so sweet As he, eyes' charm potent, intense Gazed upon this pilgrim rapt Her heart filled with awe immense And with every step her Love increased Put past to reason, sense
I chained myself in soul and body To him, my kinship flame And was wondering if so his malady Would become less tender, tame When I sensed his drudgery, demise Was a baron's law, endgame
Oh Lord! The very glow of Love Seemed then to wither, die And a chasm opened in my Heart As wide and deep as sky My soul was barbed with thorns of Christ To think of Him with earthworms lie
To think of that Heart hunted, hung In tyrants grim steel net Sullied my very own with pain Not even sight of him could abet Dolorous I sobbed and screamed Till my cheeks were red and wet
To **** the man who loved the world So much he staked his soul To bring down tyrants castle Whose oppression the mind appal But his heart forever beatific, bright Have pilgrims rapt in thrall
That he loves too much may be his sin Some others too little, theirs Their truths sell at an ugly rate His for free he shares Knowledge for the masses true Not a tyrants wares
