Low
O heart of hearts, the chalice of love`s fire,
Hid round with flowers and all the bounty of bloom;
O wonderful and perfect heart, for whom
The lyrist liberty made life a lyre;
O heavenly heart, at whose most dear desire
Dead love, living and singing, cleft his tomb,
And with him risen and regent in death`s room
All day thy choral pulses rang full choir;
O heart whose beating blood was running song,
O sole thing sweeter than thine own songs were,
Help us for thy free love`s sake to be free,
True for thy truth`s sake, for thy strength`s sake strong,
Till very liberty make clean and fair
The nursing earth as the sepulchral sea.
