… to doom , My soul went down to hell and read its fate , And rose again to serve Him , and to wait . I knew His weakness called me to be strong ; I knew that I must travel where He trod ; And that , although the path be hard and long , His eyes would pierce me yet , alive with song .

Before me dwells the Holy One Anointed Beauty 's King ; Behind me , mightier than the Sun , To whom the cherubs sing , A strong archangel , known of none , Comes crowned and conquering .

Ah, when love comes , For him no fetters bid him stay , No thorns of thought counsel delay When pulses beat like battle drums . For him it is the cry , the call Of the great mother , merciless : O Love ! untamed arbitress , Fu…

…set too firm that love Should dally with his rosy kisses there . Her corslet clasps her firm and vital breasts , But leaves uncaught her strong and placid neck , While her loose cloak like light around her floats .

Simple , amid the maze of lies ; A child , among the cruel old , I plot their stealthy destinies . So patient , in the breathless strife ; So silent , under scourge and knife ; So tranquil , in the surge of things ; I bring them , from the well of Life , Love , from celestial water - springs . From the shrill fountain - head of God I draw out water with the ro…

… Do you know the soul of night ? It is more unfathomable than the mind of a woman , It is more beautiful than her body . For night is as strong as a virgin in the prime of her womanhood , She is as tender as a mother with her babe at breast. My soul was aflame for her love . I went out to her and reached up but was unworthy . I strove for her as a river that strives towards a wide ocean . I caught at the jewels in her hair , but they evaded me . The great diadem that is set in the midst of her forehead mocked me So that I was provoked and blasp…

But when the west had smouldered into ash , The first tree swayed and snapped , and with a crash Hurled down its leafy mass and strewed the ground With spl…
