Way of Thorns

Love, is the way to your garden
Through the slow, narrow way of thorns?
Holy promise of our pardon
Oh Love, Love, Love in human form

Love, for the fragrance of your rose
Oh let my low heart be pierced too;
For there's no life but to compose
An eternal song Love, with you

Love, let me speak in roses
And with you bear all the thorns
Garden that never closes,
Oh Love, for the loveless torn
