I held you against the world till time dissolved And we stood upon an undiscovered plane Looking towards light when first the fires of dawn Appeared to us and we heard the haunting strain
Of a melody unsung on earth before. We saw emerging as from a chrysalis The transformation of all we thought we knew; The commonplace became miraculous,
The ugly bore a beauty vast and pure, Radiant bodies moved in sheer delight Across the landscape of the soul's desire. Almost too brilliant for our earthly sight
We stood enraptured in a magic hour Unwilling to break the silence of the place, For words could not express the vision seen, The creation of a great and golden race.
