Torrents of Stillness

Quoth the core, the heart’s desire
Doth the mind employ
And what is certain doth inspire
The soul to calm and joy.

O, speak, my spirit, waves of peace
Torrents of stillness serene
As from my rest I find release
And bliss breaks on the scene.

Grant, I pray, the ecstasy
That comes with delight divine
And let its pleasures follow me
As we, in love, entwine.
