I lived all this while on earthly food
Forgetting the fruits and plants of paradise
Thou came upon me to change my sense habitue
I realize above the mortal pleasure in surprise

The divine thought and sight are an ecstasy
A soul stirring sweetness in its intensity
Made me open my eyes that were close
To smell the crimson marvel of the rose

Heart is pounding in its invading frill
The thought of god holding me is a thrill
Feeling his touch and the bliss is infinite
A glorious moment of happy delight

Inside me rapture’s a sacred desire
That rises like a wild forest fire
The pure passionate realization of thyself
A new virgin radiance born amidst this self
