Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow

But let the white dove sing

 Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete

 Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low

 For all that is moving, is moved by her hands

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands

In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands

Life, life remembering

 Well here you are now, O now you are here

 Well how has it been so far?

The hair and the fur

 Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh

 For all that is moving is moved by her hands

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands

In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands

Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea

Silent shining thoughtless free

 But close your eyes to find the golden flower

And open them to see the sunshine shower

Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water be

She beareth thought, she beareth visions

Speaking truth in contradictions

Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter

And every action follows after

 O second self, O gate of the soft mystery

 I'll love you if you'll love me,

 O guide me With the gold of Gabriel's wing

 grant me the tongue that all the earth does sing

 Vibrating light forever one the sun

The book of life is open to us

There'll be no secrets left between us
