Sun Blossoms

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-flood,
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 infinite silence born of Thee
Awakes and an immortal rhythm
Of measureless felicity!
