| As th ou L ove were the d ep thought | B |
| And we the speech of the thought yea spoken are we | A |
| Thy fires of thought out spoken | C |
| - | |
| But burn d not through us thy imagining | D |
| Like fi rce m ood in a s ong c aught | B |
| We were as clamour d words a fool may fling | D |
| Loose words of meaning broken | C |
| - | |
| For what more like the brainless speech of a fool | E |
| The lives travelling dark fears | F |
| And as a boy throws pebbles in a pool | E |
| Thrown down abysmal places | G |
| - | |
| Hazardous are the stars yet is our birth | H |
| And our journeying time theirs | I |
| As words of air life makes of starry earth | H |
| Sweet soul delighted faces | G |
| - | |
| As voices are we in the worldly wind | B |
| The great wind of the world s fate | B |
| Is turn d as air to a shapen sound to mind | B |
| And marvellous desires | J |
| - | |
| But not in the world as voices storm shatter d | B |
| Not borne down by the wind s weight | B |
| The rushing time rings with our splendid word | B |
| Like darkness fill d with fires | J |
| - | |
| For Love doth use us for a sound of song | K |
| And Love s meaning our life wields | L |
| Making our souls like syllables to throng | K |
| His tunes of exultation | C |
| - | |
| Down the blind speed of a fatal world we fly | M |
| As rain blown along earth s fields | L |
| Yet are we god desiring liturgy | B |
| Sung joys of adoration | C |
| - | |
| Yea made of chance and all a labouring strife | N |
| We go charged with a strong flame | O |
| For as a language Love hath seized on life | N |
| His burning heart to story | B |
| - | |
| Yea Love we are thine the liturgy of thee | B |
| Thy thought s golden and glad name | O |
| The mortal conscience of immortal glee | B |
| Love s zeal in Love s own glory | B |
