lyrics

How say ye that I was lost?

She gazed out, after all, to assure herself
That sight and the eyes showed nothing but a glimmering veil

He had always told her that there was only one
Existence, one science, one religion
That the external world was but a variegated shadow
Which might either conceal or reveal the truth; and now she believed

He had shown her
That bodily rapture might be the ritual
And expression of the ineffable mysteries
Of the world beyond sense, and now she believed

“How say ye that I was lost? I wandered among roses.
Can he go astray who enters the rose garden?
The lover in the house of his Darling is not forlorn.
I wandered among roses. How say ye that I was lost?”

His voice had persuaded her
And now she had the rapture of the perfect knowledge
She had looked out into the silvery night
To sense that for her these things no longer existed

These things no longer existed
She was not any more a part
Of the garden, or the lake, or of the wood
Or of the life that she had led hitherto

His voice had persuaded her
Another line that he had quoted came
“The kingdom of I and We forsake
And your home in annihilation make”

At his bidding she had destroyed her old feelings
And emotions, her likes and dislikes
Inherited loves and hates
Her father and mother had given her
The old life had been thrown
Utterly away. It grew light
And when the dawn burned she fell asleep
“How say ye that I was lost?”
