    Three Is A Green Crown

    Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow
    But let the white dove sing
    Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete
    Hold hands out to greet ah let not the swan be brought low

    For all that is moving is moved by her hands
    She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
    In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands

    Life life remembering

    Continues after the ad

    Well here you are now o now you are here
    Well how has it been so far
    The hair and the fur
    Lemons, frankinscence, and myrhh

    For all that is moving is moved by her hands
    She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
    In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands

    Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea
    Silent shining thoughtless free
    but close your eyes to find the golden flower
    And open them to see the sunshine shower
    Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask
    Ah what can water be

    She beareth thought she beareth visions
    Speaking truth in contradictions
    Dreams of pain dreams of laughter
    And every action follows after

    O second self o gate of the soft mystery
    I'll love you if you'll love me; o guide me
    With the gold of gabriel's wing grant me the tongue
    That all the earth does sing
    Vibrating light forever one the sun
    The book of life is open to us
    There'll be no secrets left between us
