I saw Her once in golden air Moving on jewelled feet, A vision of grandeur passing fair, Love divine replete.
Alone I stood with a thousand eyes Fixed on Her balcony Awaiting a moment of Paradise, But then She cast on me
The diamond gaze of God's delight. I felt a physical blow, Her spinning orbs drove through my sight, What seeds did She there sow?
Only the passing of the years And stilling of the mind Or moments when the Grace appears Enable me to find
Her marvel-changes wrought within, Moulding new harmonies, Wearing the shell of ego thin To gain the soul's increase
And marshal the forces of the light To conquer the human clay Spiriting from the clutch of night The infant-soul at play.
Now the heart is Hers alone And body prays to be A vessel or an overtone Of willed divinity.
