The grief that lies bleeding in me No less in pity than in glory O creatures that are dearest to me... ...put on your crowns I look into the sky and dream of oceans that are vast O go to them, it is the vow of mine... ...danger lies ahead With you my sensual queen of natural conception That your hands find the eiderdown hard Body of heavenly picture and flower It is you that holds the secret to all our worlds Of all your pleasures, beauty, that I taste So true in bondage that I fresh the mind O free my lungs that others of thought forbid My soul has but ached, But still I am all that's left of you Sit my lover, upon your throne If chains are of words, my heart is worn O shall the voices be as pleasing as forever And forever naked I stand amongst you The grief that lies bleeding in me No less in pity than in glory O creatures that are dearest to me... ...I search in doubt Honour, honour that I feel I am no more worthy that I am human Let your tongue lesh me... ...and rain, yes it shall rain I am yours forever
