If, drunk with sight of the power
we lose wild tongues
those first affections
those shadowy recollections
will last forever in the dark
dominion over palm and pine
which, be they what they may
are yet the fountain light of all our day.
The delight is with the velvet moon
not so fair in the field one lays his dreams
yet a master light of all our seeing
uphold us cherish
and have the power to make
a true delight in all of us
our noisy years
seem moments in the being of the eternal
The silence of truths
that wake in us
Oh, the love of sacred song
we all sing along
flowers that look so beautiful and smells
so sweet in the summers breeze
God gave to thee
we all seek the beauty of paradise.
