And suddenly I saw you standing there As through the stained glass windows slanted light Fell on your sari wove of heaven's blue And in a moment's dawning glance I knew
That in this troubled world there lived delight, An unspoiled joy which both our souls would share As we together in consecration moved Through the seasons of the earth so deeply loved
And laboured in a strange and distant air, Bounteous and beautiful and bright, And grew aware half consciously at first Of Godhead's call and spirit's heightened thirst.
Though from the body's pain your soul has flown And carried with it something of my own No human griefor temporal despair Can vanquish Her who is our soul's delight.
(For Mary Helen)
