PSALM by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: FACES I HAVE SEEN AS NUMEROUS AS RAINDROPS
Last Line: LET ME NOT SEE TOO CLEARLY THAT I LOSE YOU.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Faces I have seen as numerous as raindrops and as clear
But your face which I have never seen is always near me.

Hands I have broken bread with I have forgotten,
But your hand is always in my hand.

Let me not see too clearly that I lose you.

Make me understand, as David made Saul understand, with unseen beauty -- with
great, white music.

Let me not see too clearly that I lose you.
