| Transcript | Beyond the reach Of any tether, Long desperate For other weather, Bestowed, pathetic, Inhuman, given, As Love informs us We are driven; Erase the halo Round her head; My Love waits, naked, On our bed: My Love, our Love; And, once, again, The sacred proved By the profane, What wound, what waters Bathe her side, What wells of brightness Break my Bride, That such precise Commands of Grace Grow myriad In time and place, As Sacrament Embodied there; What more shall mortal Body bear? |
