The grief that lies bleeding in me

No less in pity than in glory

O creatures that are dearest to me...

...put on your crowns



I look into the sky and dream of oceans that are vast

O go to them, it is the vow of mine...

...danger lies ahead



With you my sensual queen of natural conception

That your hands find the eiderdown hard

Body of heavenly picture and flower

It is you that holds the secret to all our worlds



Of all your pleasures, beauty, that I taste

So true in bondage that I fresh the mind

O free my lungs that others of thought forbid

My soul has but ached,

But still I am all that's left of you



Sit my lover, upon your throne

If chains are of words, my heart is worn

O shall the voices be as pleasing as forever

And forever naked I stand amongst you



The grief that lies bleeding in me

No less in pity than in glory

O creatures that are dearest to me...

...I search in doubt



Honour, honour that I feel

I am no more worthy that I am human

Let your tongue lesh me...

...and rain, yes it shall rain



I am yours forever
