In the Secret Place

In the secret place

Silence given song

Gentle voice of growing

Rushing river strong

Still; my heart yet quickens

Silence, oh my soul

Within me a wave

Gentle as it bold

Sing to me a song

Open up my ear

Whisper silent love songs

Draw me ever near

No presence as you give

-Even in the sun-

Who close his eyes by night

When you are just begun

Find me in the hollow

In the womb as old

Birth my heart anew

Speak and I am told

Find me as my lover

Embrace me as the bride

It is I you long for

Hold me at your side

Take me in your garden

Here I find your face

Grace me as a lover

In the secret place
