In Inferno Sustulit Oculos
You—and I did not know!—
Were in the world with me!
And nothing between us there
But land and sea!
Were in the world with me!
And nothing between us there
But land and sea!
I played at love with women,
I played at labour with men;
You—and I did not know!—
Were there all then.
I played at labour with men;
You—and I did not know!—
Were there all then.
Nothing of Heaven seemed certain,
Nothing of Earth sublime;
You—and I did not know!—
There all the time.
Nothing of Earth sublime;
You—and I did not know!—
There all the time.
You, with the angel wings,
Who walk in heavenly light,
Whom the Great Gulf keeps from me
In the fiery night.
Who walk in heavenly light,
Whom the Great Gulf keeps from me
In the fiery night.
