Who sets the spheres to their elliptic dance Wakes now the spirit from its dreamlike trance, The mover of the worlds has moved my soul Who fashions diamonds from the hardened coal
Now fashions us as once he scattered stars Among the worlds of gods and avatars To return the spirit to its native light, Life's fascination with the lures of night
Rescind that we may find ere breath departs The sanctuary in our heart of hearts, Hold love so vast the wounded world embrace, Accelerate the transformation's pace.
On silent feet he comes to his abode Divine takes up the heavy human load Of grief and pain that visits all our days Slowly to reveal the sunlit ways
That we who yearn within these rooms of clay May live at last, a higher law obey.
