SURRENDER, by                    
First Line: You are the stars, beloved, my moon and sun
Last Line: No will, no inclination to resist.
Subject(s): Life


You are the stars, Beloved, my moon and sun,
My land and water, darkness, light and air,
All life was drab until you made it fair ...
Made life and love with beauty subtly one,
Unconscious of the glory just begun
With knowing you. Now I no longer care
For any thing in which you do not share.
Alas for me! This thing that you have done
Renders me deaf and dumb and wholly blind
To everything in which you have no part..
In my devotion only I exist.
Yours is my body, soul and quailing mind.
I have no eyes, nor lips nor ears nor heart --
No will, no inclination to resist.
