My Words Avail Me Nought
O' that I knew and spake angelic speech
For human words avail me nought to reach
The splendor that is only known of love
Ascension of the soul to realms above
Then perhaps I might express love lost
For I've not words so awful as the cost
Nor have I words so deep as that abyss
The depths to which the soul is plunged from bliss
