The Secret Splendour

Crystal of calm held deep in the heart,

Wide wordless ether in the mind;

Out of the pure White all desire,

 From the blue silence each winged cry!

Wake inward to hid light in life.

Upward to the unborn life in light!

 I am weary of waking, weary of sleep,

Too weary to gain even peace from death

You only, O double divinity,

Lord overhead, Love caved in the core,

Can heal and rest and make me whole,

A source of shining energies

Just by one Grace-touch making me Yours!
