Oh, I once had a love
that I loved beyond love
Oh, My heart did sing
for the love of such a one
Oh, such a love of which the angels sing
to love such a love
there were no bounds
My heart could not reach
but Oh! ever Eden has its Serpent.
Once upon a walk
just to feel the cool air upon her brow
she strayed into the wild dark woods
and fell amongst a troop of hellish fiends
Oh, sons of darkness all
with cruel and wicked ways
with a heart darker than the blackest night
Oh, with a dark and evil laugh
and glowing red eyes
she was pressed so sore
and come to grief
amongst those hellish fiends
"Oh, I pray You".
IΒ Β beseeched those hellish fiends
" let My sweet love walk free
in the fresh and cool night air
with a fresh soft breeze
to caress her brow"
Oh, no cried those hellish fiends
like for like You must give
let blood for blood be Your pay
so I gave Myself over to those hellish fiends
Oh, so My sweet love could walk among the cool night air
she who I loved with a love more than love
Oh, a life so precious
as a jewel in God's crown
Oh, how those hellish fiends
took My flesh to tear
with joint pulled and torn from joint
My flesh they burnt
Oh, pain beyond pain
to much to bare
Oh, how through and through My body
they ****** spears and polls
then upon My head
they placed a crown of thorns
and from every thorn
a drop of poison did fall
a poison so vile
the flesh it did rot
Oh, they hung Me between heaven and earth
stretched upon a painful eternity
Oh, in My pain and despair
I gazed upon the heavens
upon Orion as he slowly made his way
across the night sky
and the Pleiades as they sparkled
like diamonds in the night sky
as tears of pain and woe
from My eyes did flow
Oh, My thoughts fell upon You
My sweet love
My all
Oh, happy thoughts of You
made My tears cease to flow
as I hung stretched out upon a painful eternity
happiness I found a last
to know in the cool free night air
You remain
and I realized
that there's no cure for love
