0         THE WINDOW

1         Why do you stand by the window
2         Abandoned to beauty and pride
3         The thorn of the night in your bosom
4         The spear of the age in your side
5         Lost in the rages of fragrance
6         Lost in the rags of remorse
7         Lost in the waves of a sickness
8         That loosens the high silver nerves

9         Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
10        Oh tangle of matter and ghost
11        Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
12        And the whole broken-hearted host
13        Gentle this soul

14        And come forth from the cloud of anoint
15        And kiss the cheek of the moon
16        The New Jerusalem glowing
17        Why tarry all night in the ruin
18        And leave no word of discomfort
19        And leave no observer to mourn
20        But climb on your tears and be silent
21        Like a rose on its ladder of thorns

22        Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...

23        Then lay your rose on the fire
24        The fire give up to the sun
25        The sun give over to splendour
26        In the arms of the high holy one
27        For the holy one dreams of a letter
28        Dreams of a letter's death
29        Oh bless thee continuous stutter
30        Of the word being made into flesh

31        Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love...

32        Gentle this soul
