124° MYSTERIES :
Lifted, and in the shadow far behind
Dim and divine, within the shadow blind.
My own love’s face most amorously draw
Out of the deep toward my cloudy mind.
And suddenly I felt a kiss enclose
My whole live body, as a rich red rose
Folding its sweetness round the honey-bee.
I felt a perfect soul embracing me,
And in my spirit like a river flows
A passion like the passion of the sea.
