My Father is deep within the deeps, whence He sent me forth.

He sends the eagle of silence down on wide wings

To lean over my head and my neck and my breast

And fill them strong with strength of wings.

He sends the serpent of power up my feet and my loins

So that strength wells up in me like water in hot springs.

But midmost shines as the Morning Star midmost shines

Between night and day, my Soul-star in one,

Which is my Father whom I know not.

I tell you, the day should not turn into glory,
