lyrics

You are not nearer God than we;

we are all
far from him.
And yet
how beautifully your hands
are blessed.

No woman's ripen
that way,
shimmering thus
out of the sleeve:

I am the day,
I am the dew,
you though
are the tree.

I'm exhausted now,
my way was far,

forgive me,
I've forgotten

what He,
who great in gold array

sat throned as in the sun,
gave me to tell you,
you pensive one,

(space has me confused).

Look:
I am whatever
is beginning,

you
though
are the tree.

I stretched my wings
to rest them
and grew oddly vast;
now your small house
overflows
with my great brocade.

And yet
you are more alone than ever
and scarcely notice me;

it's true:

I am a breath
inside the forest,

you though
are the tree.

The angels
all grow afraid,
let one another go:

never was desire like this,
so vague and great.

Perhaps
something soon will happen
that you now grasp in dream.

Greetings to you,
my soul now sees:
you are ready and grow ripe.

You are a great,
high, shining gate,
and
you will open soon.

You,
my song's most cherished ear,
now I feel: my word got lost in you
as in a wood.

And so I came that way
and made complete
your thousand and one dreams.
God looked at me:
the light was blinding...

You though are the tree.
