You rent the veil
And all I see,
--Yet all else pales!--
A blinding light
Has shown on me.

I hear the words
I had not known,
--The speech of birds!--
Of windy trees
And clouds far flown.

You bow so low,
So sweet, so near,
--That I may know!--
Through whispered words
In language clear.

Your secret thoughts
Of love to me,
--Had I forgot?--
You are All
And All in me.

Brave is
As brave will be,
--No lower path was His!--
No lesser love
Can set me free.
