David Herbert Lawrence - Mystery

David Herbert Lawrence - Mystery

Now I am all br One bowl of kisses, br Such as the tall br Slim votaresses br Of Egypt filled br For a God's excesses. br br I lift to you br My bowl of kisses, br And through the temple's br Blue recesses br Cry out to you br In wild caresses. br br And to my lips' br Bright crimson rim br The passion slips, br And down my slim br White body drips br The shining hymn. br br And still before br The altar I br Exult the bowl br Brimful, and cry br To you to stoop br And drink, Most High. br br Oh drink me up br That I may be br Within your cup br Like a Mystery, br Like wine that is still br In ecstasy. br br Glimmering still br In ecstasy, br Commingled wines br Of you and me br In One fulfill,... br The Mystery.
