| HERE where the loves of others close | |
| The vision of my heart begins. | |
| The wisdom that within us grows | |
| Is absolution for our sins. | |
| |
| We took forbidden fruit and ate | 5 |
| Far in the garden of His mind. | |
| The ancient prophecies of hate | |
| We proved untrue, for He was kind. | |
| |
| He does not love the bended knees, | |
| The soul made wormlike in His sight, | 10 |
| Within whose heaven are hierarchies | |
| And solar kings and lords of light. | |
| |
| Who come before Him with the pride | |
| The Children of the King should bear, | |
| They will not be by Him denied, | 15 |
| His light will make their darkness fair. | |
| |
| To be afar from Him is death | |
| Yet all things find their fount in Him: | |
| And nearing to the sunrise breath | |
| Shine jewelled like the seraphim. | 20 |
