Invocation Moon-creature precious of desire tender in faithfulness of light how shall I touch your perfect fire ? Suffering that breathes above me now, beyond obedience to be, Beauty will you itself allow ? Peace of these constellations' calm night of the mind that must endure harbour the love in us from harm. Power to the very utmost keep the loved, the loving from despair drowned where they lie in Eros-sleep. Moon-creature precious of desire faithful in tenderness of light, how shall I touch your perfect fire ? |
