The holy Rose her leaves will soon unfold. The tender bud of dawn already lies Reddening on the wide, transparent skies. Love's star is a white sail the still seas hold. Here, in the light-soaked space above the wold, Through the descending dew the arches rise Of the unseen cathedral, filled with cries From the winged weavers threading it with gold. Here on the hill, the cypress, in accord With me, stands praying: a cowled eremite. And on the roses' cheeks the tears fall light. Upon my cell the patterned rays are poured. And in the East, the purple vines bleed bright, And seething, overflow. ...
