CWhy do you stand by the Gwindow
FAbandoned to beauty and Cpride
CThe thorn of the night in your Gbosern
FThe spear of the age in you Cside
CLost in the rages of Gfragrance
FLost in the rags of Cremorse
CLost in the waves of a Gsickness
FThat loosens the high silver Cnerves
Chorus:
GO chosen love, O frozen love
FO tangle of matter and Cghost
GO darling of angels, demons and saints
FAnd the whole broken-hearted Chost
CGentle this Gsoul
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
