O Sovereign, O Holy, O
Guide, O Light,
You are my Lord and
awesome your Might.
O Generous, O Kind, O
Patient, O Great,
Your Glory I adulate.
O Maker, O King, O Strong,
O Loving,
We are sinners and You, The
Forgiving.
O Giver of Life, O Raiser
from Death,
Thanks to You our every
breath.
O Just, O Firm, O Wise, O
Might,
Grant us, I beg, Eternal
delight.

Equanimity itself,
O Kind, O Generous,
Her nature romantic,
Heart’s yearning, absence of flaw.

9. SECRET LOVE
Many a time have I encountered, O Beauty,
Your loving gaze transfixed on me,
But when I reciprocate adoringly,
You would rather not see.
Do you think I have not seen,
The flitting sparkle in your eyes?
But when my own eyes beg for your approval,
I find you in a different guise!
Your lofty dignity restrains you,
From declaring your obvious affection,
But why does your apt femininity suspect,
My superlative expectation?
My solitude is so overwhelming,
I wish you were here with me,
But, as dark turns to light, and night to day,
You are still impossible to see.

Desire is an obligation
On which the male urge is intent;
Regret is the emotion
That is impossible to prevent.
