W hy do you stand by the w indow
A bandoned to beauty and p ride
T he thorn of the night in your b osern
T he spear of the age in you s ide
L ost in the rages of f ragrance
L ost in the rags of r emorse
L ost in the waves of a s ickness
T hat loosens the high silver n erves
O chosen love O frozen love
O tangle of matter and g host
O darling of angels demons and saints
A nd the whole broken-hearted h ost
G entle this s oul
A nd come forth from yo ur cloud of unknowing
k iss the cheek of the moon
T he new Jerusalem glowing
W hy tarry all night in thi s ruin
A nd leave no word o f discomfort
O r leave no observ er to mourn
B ut climb on your tea rs and be silent
L ike the rose on its ladder of thorn
O chosen love O frozen love
O tangle of matter and g host
O darling of angels demons and saints
A nd the whole broken-hearted h ost
G entle this s oul
T hen lay your rose on the fire
T he fire give up to th e sun
T he sun give over to splendor
I n the arms of the High Ho ly One
F or The Holy One dr eams of a letter
A nd he Dreams of a letter's death
O h bless the continuo us stutter
O f the word being made into flesh
O chosen love O frozen love
O tangle of matter and g host
O darling of angels demons and saints
A nd the whole broken-hearted h ost
G entle this s oul
