Out of Darkness
Links of truth let my tears shine
through
Where the angel roses flower celestial
bright
From where the lilies of a wider field
do rest
Rare blossoms there where ‘ere their
hearts had dared
Pierced the rose by love in crystal
drops
From out of darkness where the light
shines
For sight they see from blindness
tinged with red
The truth from which every selfish
heart is hid
Crushed the lily by love’s most tender
hand
Wide the fragrant places where their
flower died
From pearled valleys steeped in grief that
found them first
Their joyous light from which the
untouched flower hides
End of night let truth’s light from out
of darkness rise
From the womb of dawn love opens
stooped to hear
To comfort hearts that to her cry from
all hurting places
Kind her hid surprise in truth’s slant
circuit laid
Cached of love in safety from the
prudent and the wise
Turned upside down the truth she hid in
secret places
That none might read to steal she
buried light in darkness
Foolish faith not cleverness finds
decrease delight
Of love’s own prism split the fragments
of the light
Weighed in measures none could fathom
truth’s surprise
That in their going under babes could
comprehend
And in their knowing nothing, find in
loss the light
