As burns a solitary lamp in night Dispelling through its light all worldly gloom So with the candle trimmed within my soul Where I have built a sacramental room. I felt the plenitude of Grace draw close Have seen beyond the ever-doubting mind, Beyond the body and its thousand blows, A truth to which my life is now aligned. I have touched the Absolute, its joy I feel And though I fall I rise again each day And strive to turn this flagging will to steel. I am an actor in the cosmic play And though my part be small I cannot say That I would change my role as servant here To Her whom all my births in time revere.
