lyrics

I sought him where the marble shone
and rang with singing echoes
to the hurrying prelates' feet and
found him not I sought him where the golden glow
and painted heav'n-eyed saints adorn the sleeping altars
and found him not
I sought him where all nature's beauty burned
with autumn leaves afire with death
against the long blue sky
and found him not
I sought him down the stone sett streets
dull beneath the misty rain
which closed the surrounding hills
and found him not
I sought him in the eyes of strangers
bright with giving thoughts
and in the hearts of friends
but found him not
I sought him
him whom I loved
in ev'ry thing I loved
in my own heart's loving
but this night I found him not
I found him not
but still I sought him
this gurgling boy of joy but where?
the dark sky all above and round me
like a suffocating empty cloak
took time away
my thoughts away
my search away
and the peace of emptiness of self
opened the low brown door
and there his newness tiny lay
deep in the shriven hollow of my heart
cradled there
I found him  

(poem by Audrey Vaughan)
