Hymn

To the most lovely, the most dear, 

The Angel, and the deathless grail 

Who fill my heart with radiance clear — 

In immortality all hail!

Into my life she flows translated 

As saline breezes fill the sky,

And pours into my soul unsated 

The taste of what can never die.

Sachet, forever fresh, perfuming 

Some quiet nook of hid delight; 

A lone forgotten censer fuming 

In secrecy across the night.

How, flawless love, with truth impart 

Your purity and keep it whole,

O unseen grain of musk who art 

The core of my eternal soul?

To the most lovely, the most dear, 

The angel, and the deathless grail, 

Who fill my life with radiance clear — 

In immortality all hail!
