Depth
The vision of you is like the sun on the horizon
which light does set upon the brow of thought
the midsummer's buds bring forth the harvest
the treasure of mine heart within are caught
Such a love descends upon a mortal breast
to be exercised in span of shorted life
where hope does soar like a bird aflight
such sails hold the winds of bonded wife
Entwined upon our souls does hold its rope
The chords of Love the spirits promise that you gave
for therein it is braids like upon us hope
to care for each other like humbled slave
It declares your love to those your favors chose
whose intercourse of cares upon all alight
the final numbers of all the called to wed
the seal of your love by a messengers invite
Cast upon us are all the reasons for this course
to trod its path is the faithful map to true
to all our sins and failings which we divorce
and its purity of heart is joined to you
All of its secrets to your beloved you revealed
and saved us by the knowledge of its depth
that it be patterned to the nature unconcealed
gives eternity to true loves life and breath
I will enter the temple with rejoicing
among your judges we will find our place
what we have suffered like an irritation
that we might give you our obeisance and grace
You have looked upon the oppressed and lowly
who have shown the justice of your King
with patience have faced all their afflictions
and know your peace upon the earth will ring
