I saved my soul when young while I Had seen the devil topple my sky I saved my heart from lust of him Till it knew no more drudgery of sin Dare I forfend destiny sublime That heaven hath in mind for time? Where children dance in innocent glee Down valleys, in rivers wild and free
I kept it hid in angels chest A sunshine in his golden breast Lost stair to heaven alit by its ray As I gods bee grow accustomed to his day Sunbeam light the rainbow way On which the saints and angels lay A chain of gold connect our minds And hearts in Love: activity refined
I saved my soul in golden grove And frolicked in God’s treasure trove A knowledge pure wherein I rove For which the saints and angels strive My peace hath found its fury tongue A riot most illustrious begging to be sung As I traverse this summer long As grace ascend past evil throng
