[00:07]When love beckons to you, follow him,
[00:16]Though his ways are hard and steep.
[00:26]And when his wings enfold you, yield to him,
[00:36]Though he hides a sword among him.
[00:46]And when he speaks to you, believe in him,
[00:54]Though his voice may shatter your dreams.
[01:03]Love will crown and crucify you.
[01:07]And though for your growth so he is for your pruning.
[01:12]Love will caresses your tenderest branches, And shake every clinging root.
[01:23]Like sheaves of corn, he gathers you unto himself.
[01:32]He threshes and sifts you. He grinds and he kneads you.
[01:41]And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
[01:50]That you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
[01:58]All these things shall love do unto you,
[02:03]That you may know the secrets of your heart.
[02:09]And in that knowledge become a fragment,
[02:13]A fragment of life's heart.
[02:18]Now if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
[02:28]Better cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
[02:36]Into a seasonless world where you shall laugh,
[02:40]But not all of your laughter,
[02:46]and weep, and weep, but not all of your tears.
[02:55]Love gives naught but itself, and takes naught but from itself.
[03:05]Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
[03:10]For love is enough.
[03:20]You should say, "I am in the heart of God."
[03:26]You can not direct the course of love.
[03:30]If Love,it finds you worthy, directs your course.
[03:38]To wake at dawn with a winged heart;
[03:43]To come home in the evening with gratitude;
[03:47]Then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart,
[03:52]And a song of praise on your lips.
