Sun Blossoms

Orison To Divine Beauty

I HAVE glimpsed a magic beauty in thy Face;
It floats before my sight in tranquil air
And turns the silence of my spirit-space
To a diamond energy of timeless prayer.

For mortal beauty I can crave no more,
Thou art the centre of my universe;
And in thy heart I have found the secret door
Leading to the ecstasy of the hidden spheres.

My heart begins to open like a rose
To the subtle touch of thy mysterious Power;
Tinged with imperishable hues it glows
Upon the summit of the eternal Hour,

And sings an orison to thy supreme
Beauty that moulds my life into a strange
Epiphany of thy apocalypt dream,
Approached by no wave of human mood and change.
