Bride of the Fire  

 

 

Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close, -

Bride of the Fire!

I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose,

I have slain desire.

 

Beauty of the Light, surround my life, -

Beauty of the Light!

I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief,

I can bear thy delight.

 

Image of ecstasy, thrill and enlace, -

Image of bliss!

I would see only thy marvellous face,

Feel only thy kiss.

 

Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart, –

Call of the One!

Stamp there thy radiance, never to part,

O living sun.
