AWhy do you stand by the Ewindow
DAbandoned to beauty and Apride
AThe thorn of the night in your Ebosern
DThe spear of the age in you Aside
ALost in the rages of Efragrance
DLost in the rags of Aremorse
ALost in the waves of a Esickness
DThat loosens the high silver Anerves
Chorus:
EO chosen love, O frozen love
DO tangle of matter and Aghost
EO darling of angels, demons and saints
DAnd the whole broken-hearted Ahost
AGentle this Esoul
And come forth from your cloud of unknowing
kiss the cheek of the moon
The new Jerusalem glowing
Why tarry all night in this ruin
And leave no word of discomfort
Or leave no observer to mourn
But climb on your tears and be silent
Like the rose on its ladder of thorn
Chorus
Then lay your rose on the fire
The fire give up to the sun
The sun give over to splendor
In the arms of the High Holy One
For The Holy One dreams of a letter
And he Dreams of a letter's death
Oh bless the continuous stutter
Of the word being made into flesh
Chorus
MfG Tobi
