Tint, Prince Jesus, a
Duskèd eye for Viola!

The Father of Heaven.
Cast a star therein to drown,
Like a torch in cavern brown,
Sink a burning star to drown
Whelmed in eyes of Viola.

Star in eyes of Viola!

The Father of Heaven.
Breathe, Lord Paraclete,
To a bubbled crystal meet-
Breathe, Lord Paraclete→

The Father of Heaven.
Child-angels, from your wings
Fall the roseal hoverings,
Child-angels, from your wings,
On the cheeks of Viola.
