My Words Avail Me Nought

O' that I knew and spake angelic speech For human words avail me nought to reach The splendor that is only known of love Ascension of the soul to realms above Then perhaps I might express love lost For I've not words so awful as the cost Nor have I words so deep as that abyss The depths to which the soul is plunged from bliss
