O Beauty

O beauty ancient
O beauty fresh
You blazed, you shattered my deafness
You spread your fragrance
I drew in my breath
I touched, I tasted
The sweetness of your rest
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
In all danger my eyes have seen
What truth you gave me
The clamour of my being
You spread your fragrance
I drew in my breath
I touched, I tasted
The sweetness of your rest
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
