O darkness in whose bosom now I dwell, I cherish thee as God the flame and light. I have tasted heaven, seen the face of hell And glimpsed the One in lonely fields of night.
I seek no longer transitory peace Or breaking of the chains that hold me fast Or even that this sorrow soon may cease And Joy my soul's companion find at last "€œ
I only ask that gratitude may be Settled in sleep, in waking fill my mind What else might ask that thou did not foresee What treasure lost that I shall never find?
All questions and all answers in thee lie Wherein resides my spirit's destiny.
