Poem: Come, O Beauty, Come To Us
Come, O Beauty, Come to us
Draw forth Your seed from deep
Seed of image, sown in dust
Seed split wide in earthen death
Hidden root, seek living water
Tender shoot, stretch sunward
Aged by wind
Washed in rain
Swollen bulb, burst forth with fire
Scent, be carried on spirit-wind
One of beauty, give birth in us
Image of unceasing spring
