Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close, - br Bride of the Fire! br I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose, br I have slain desire. br br Beauty of the Light, surround my life, - br Beauty of the Light! br I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief, br I can bear thy delight. br br Image of Ecstasy, thrill and enlace, - br Image of Bliss! br I would see only thy marvellous face, br Feel only thy kiss. br br Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart, - br Call of the One! br Stamp there thy radiance, never to part, br O living sun.
