Star into star divisible, cloud by cloud
Now the camellia moon floats, ever, at large
Sea into sea the wave sheer music relaunching
Carries bright measures over the darkness to me.
Dream by dream the sleep that was broken resolves
Into a finer epiphany, closer to Earth
Angels herald the light of a beautiful sorrow
Rose in the briars caught yet no more dearth
Courage wavers, my smallest candle blown out
Still I feel the myriad suns arise
Over the mockery of the ages
Losing the tune of all that was despised
Comfort ye comfort ye my people
Every shadow sings and each gust sighs
Christ is born each winter twig is radiant
Candlewick of the Love that cannot die.
