ASCENSION

Previous
FINE, jealous, in suspicion as a child,
In jealousy more infinitely wild,
Forth to us from Thy Father Thou didst come:
Now to Thy Father in His home
Ascend—to the Beginning and the Dawn!
Pass to the East,
New-born our priest—
The East,
And where the rose is born!
O Heaven of Heavens, as no sea is clear,
O Eastern Gate of Waters, with a spear
Day rings you wide for Christ to be released!
He passes free from Earth, our priest
Forth to His Shrine: our love, grown tense,
Would follow Him,
Through Seraphim
Lost dim,
His servers who incense.
