Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHB IJAK JBLMGN OPGQ RNSTUVB| Thou who art the innermost Spirit of my being | A |
| art thou pleased Lord of my Life | B |
| For I give to thee my cup filled with all | C |
| the pain and delight that the crushed | D |
| grapes of my heart had surrendered | E |
| I wove with rhythm of colors and song cover for thy bed | F |
| And with the molten gold of my desires | G |
| I fashioned playthings for thy passing hours | G |
| I know not why thou chosest me for thy partner | H |
| Lord of my life | B |
| - | |
| Didst thou store my days and nights | I |
| my deeds and dreams for the alchemy of thy art | J |
| and string in the chain of thy music my songs of autumn and spring | A |
| and gather the flowers from my mature moments for thy crown | K |
| - | |
| I see thine eyes gazing at the dark of my heart | J |
| Lord of my life | B |
| I wonder if my failure and wrongs are forgiven | L |
| For many were my days without service | M |
| and nights of forgetfulness futile were the flowers | G |
| that faded in the shade not offered to thee | N |
| - | |
| Often the tied strings of my lute slackened | O |
| at the strains of thy tunes | P |
| And often at the ruin of wasted hours | G |
| my desolate evenings were filled with tears | Q |
| - | |
| But have my days come to their end at last | R |
| Lord of my life while my arms round thee | N |
| grow limp my kisses losing their truth | S |
| Then break up the meeting of this languid day | T |
| Renew the old in me in fresh forms of delight | U |
| and let the wedding come once again in | V |
| a new ceremony of life | B |
