Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth.
It is thy desire in us that desireth.
It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days which are thine also.

Let not the wise these sland'rous words regard,
But curse the bones of ev'ry living bard.

Or it may be loosened in repose,
Can rule by supernatural right
Yet be but sinew.
