First Line: At night in each other's arms
Last Line: He the eternal appeared.
Subject(s): Love; Religion; Theology
AT night in each other's arms,
Content, overjoyed, resting deep deep down in the darkness,
Lo! the heavens opened and He appeared—
Whom no mortal eye may see,
Whom no eye clouded with Care,
Whom none who seeks after this or that, Whom none
who has not escaped from self
There—in the region of Equality, in the world of Freedom no longer
limited,
Standing as a lofty peak in heaven above the clouds,
From below hidden, yet to all who pass into that region most clearly
visible—
He the Eternal appeared.
