Quest Fulfilled

O BEAUTY, I have sought thee everywhere;

But my eyes failed to
nd thy hidden abode;

Then a voice rang through the silver hush of air

And I began. my strange journey to God.

Now I have met thy everchanging Face

Swayed by a myriad inscrutable moods,

Each an expression of thy fathomless grace

Showering the supreme beatitudes.

My souls eternal quest ful
lled in thee,

I am to thy heart inseparably bound;

Thou hast revealed thy human mystery

To my aspiring senses; they are crowned

With visions that penetrate the veil of time

Like a gleam of stars piercing a nebulous haze,

And bring close to my spirit Gods sublime

Beauty sculptured in thy mysterious Face.
