My passion,
What rose buds blossom?
What tenderness in thou touch?
How brightness is thou smile ever-lasting!
My love,
How much is too much?
What wishing wells deepen?
What heart opened unto your embraces,
Unto your kisses?
My depth,
How does it get to deepen?
At last thou tiny pillow, thy sleeper
And into your eyes
Where I will forever dwell
Where the fire of love burns alive;
In wealth and wisdom,
Thou never ending glow
Peaceful cradle, rest my love.
Thou beating heart, thou wandering mind.
Thy mittens keep thee warm
In winter's unstopping chill
My dreams blanket thee
In God's love and Holy will,
My arms embrace thee
With my love undying forever more
What candle's flame doest thou light?
Will our prayers be righteous enough
To shepherd the weak through the night?
I walk with thee stone unto stone
One step, and another,
Let you never be lost,
Never alone,
Never weak,
For thou is Heaven,
Heaven; thou home
