To the Heights-XXVII
Not for me, not for me
I breathe and move and act-
not for me, not for me,
but for the beloved Lord of my life.
I have cast myself away-
oh, the rapture of looking up to Him, of listening to Him alone:
I am the slave of His Will,
a plaything in His sweet hands.
But I am no more
this is a mere vacant frame that you see,
its ancient substance has dissolved-
it is now my Lord's tabernacle, it is His gestures that are traced there.
The I that seems is an empty thing
that bubbles up with His breath as He chooses
and utters and enshrines His iridescent Delight
and sinks back again and melts into His tranced silence.
April 22, 1935
