Seer deep-hearted

Seer deep-hearted, divine king of the secrecies,

Occult fountain of love sprung from the heart of God,

Ways thou knewest no feet ever in Time had trod.

Words leaped flashing¹, the flame-billows of wisdom’s seas.

Vast thy² soul was a tide washing the coasts of heaven.

Thoughts broke burning and bare crossing the human night,

White star-scripts of the gods born from the book³ of Light

Page by page to the dim children of earth were given.
