Of everpowering blessedness,

Yet panting for the fulness of the bliss

That breathes consuming fire from Love’s unkenned abyss.

Not through that fiery sphere my way,

But here where shines the veiléd day,

The flames of mystery insteeped

In this our mortal clay;

For in her maiden breast asleep

Lies all the Love of Heaven’s deep,

The holy circle of her zone
