Poem
Like morning light break forth of eastern skies And astound with beauty the waking eyes So did my heart before you rose to praise A seraph in the nectar of flesh, May's Brightest bloom in the garden of gladness The purest form of earth's bare loveliness. To you, O joy, O let me sing Let me tell of love first coming. Cho. Awake the woodland choir for my song Awake the primal hour of spring's soft throng Awake the lark not yet on wing Awake the world, an anthem bring Of praise, of praise to beauty, praise To the sweet rainbow of our days Sweet fragments make the rainbow bloom aloft Light splintered is yet in beauty so soft And whole, the healing balm of my parched soul Each little wonder a stair a bright stair A garden of glory on heaven's scroll I climb to suck the breast of worship here I seek your worth and find God there Uplifting me from mortal care Inside the tabernacle of the soul Wild and dusty, the dry harmattans roll And every tender tree gasping for rain Beheld sapphire arid sky and pray in vain The pearly cumulus would sable turn Where on the eye pivots the graceful tern And then so suddenly you came The phoenix of another name Too deaf the deft pianist fingers toll His litany your virtue to extol You the image's bone transformed, transcend All that desire loves and love declares right Eden's broken wings yet make praise ascend As prayers in the fluid light, a flight Of rapture, leaving silent stars And earth's tumult to jealous wars Nothing but you, and you alone exist O sacred symphony of heaven's bliss And all earth shambles fore you fall again To rise in your glory a better tale The joy of beggining the end of pain Lighthouse eternal, love that cannot fail Sweet still the night aglow parades Yet star like flowers morning fades Morning melted into mist, grass perspired In the cool, leaves transpired droplets of bliss The rainbow my thoughts like heaven attired Beauty its providence hasten to kiss Time had divinity at its leafed door And seas and rivers in long triumph roar The rhythm of earth so to begin To break the carnal rule of sin.
