Come I will consecrate you for the journey | B |

Rather I had you would not go Nay come | C |
I will not again reproach you Lie back | D |
And let me love you a long time ere you go | E |

The will to love me But even so | E |
I will set a seal upon you from my lip | F |
Will set a guard of honour at each door | G |
Seal up each channel out of which might slip | F |
Your love for me | B |

I kiss your mouth Ah love | H |
Could I but seal its ruddy shining spring | I |
Of passion parch it up destroy remove | J |
Its softly stirring crimson welling up | K |
Of kisses Oh help me God Here at the source | L |
I'd lie for ever drinking and drawing in | M |
Your fountains as heaven drinks from out their course | L |

And seal your nostrils and round your neck you'll wear | P |

I place a great and burning seal of love | H |
Like a dark rose a mystery of rest | R |
On the slow bubbling of your rhythmic heart | S |

Nay I persist and very faith shall keep | T |
You integral to me Each door each mystic port | U |
Of egress from you I will seal and steep | T |

But let me finish what I have begun | V |
And shirt you now invulnerable in the mail | W |
Of iron kisses kisses linked like steel | X |
Put greaves upon your thighs and knees and frail | W |
Webbing of steel on your feet So you shall feel | X |
Ensheathed invulnerable with me with seven | V |
Great seals upon your outgoings and woven | V |
Chain of my mystic will wrapped perfectly | B |
Upon you wrapped in indomitable me | B |
