The Bride's Ballade

Welcome the Bride as She comes

Flowing white lace and pearls

Silhouetted by the sun

Her Beloved she will embrace

With Her gentle soul and spirit

Her Thou's form will fill with Grace

To behold Her is to be awed

And lifted to the Heavens

Then pen simple words of laud

In knowing Thyself my friend you'll know your Bride;

and in that bestowed Grace, you'll apprehend your Source.
