Soul of Love, Soul of Peace
Soul of love and soul of peace
Somewhere on heavens interwine
With grief, on earth their lips were freeze
In heart of sky they breathe and shine
They gaze on thy scars? They may be!
They smile but not for thee and me
On Earth love falls on thorns and bleeds
And dove of Peace in blood doth float
O mournful eyes which icy weeds?
Which tears of blood are in thy boat?
O souls of love and peace for Thine !
I vow to give these breathes of mine
My mortal friends wherest thou go?
Thou needles of the clock of life?
O harken! Harken ! Come and row
My sinking sinking Arc of life!
In thousand rhymes in thousand ways
I called and called these souls of thine
O come from yonder sky with fays!
My heart will breath with breathes of Thine
Love sang on harp, on palm peace perched
The tunes of both there intertwined
In awe and magic I them searched
All anthems float on gusts of wind
On heavens urn, love painted hue
In morning they will come with dew
This mortal world is made for us
But not for it are me and you
