Your Face


OUT of your face there look at me

Two fathomless inexpressible eyes,

And from the heaven of their gaze

Outpour a wine of gold sun-rise.

I lose myself in its nectar-ood,

A star burning in caves of night.

Remembrances of happy thoughts

Come winging from a sleepless height.

An ocean-like immensity

Invades my narrow earthly stream

With an ineffable calm and peace,

Its waves are crested with a gleam

Of beauty, child of thy delight:

The heart of dimness glows within,

As the veil slowly fades away

And new paths open to unseen

Vistas where mortal vision pales.

An innite silence born of Thee

Awakes and an immortal rhythm

Of measureless felicity!
