THOU IN HEAVEN, I ON EARTH
Make thou me great in heaven, I on earth
Will make thee deathless and abiding, sweet.
Tender shall be the flower-marks of thy feet
In every valley; give the heavenly birth
To me, and let me when I kiss thee, meet
Lips past all mortal evanescent worth.
Oh, lift me far beyond the thunderous heat
Of life, and let me hear celestial mirth.
Will make thee deathless and abiding, sweet.
Tender shall be the flower-marks of thy feet
In every valley; give the heavenly birth
To me, and let me when I kiss thee, meet
Lips past all mortal evanescent worth.
Oh, lift me far beyond the thunderous heat
Of life, and let me hear celestial mirth.
A mortal I: a crownéd angel thou:
Yet have I strength to draw thee down the ways
Golden, and print this kiss upon thy brow.
Lo! all my spirit towards thee to-night I raise:
Deathless thou shalt be in mine earthly song;
Convoy thou me thine heavenly streets along!
Yet have I strength to draw thee down the ways
Golden, and print this kiss upon thy brow.
Lo! all my spirit towards thee to-night I raise:
Deathless thou shalt be in mine earthly song;
Convoy thou me thine heavenly streets along!
