From "The Great Divide"
And when I gathered up to leave
You drew me to your side
To be as Adam was to Eve
Before the Great Divide
And fastened here we cannot move
Except to one another
We spread and drown as lilies do
From nowhere to the centre
And here I cannot lift a hand
To trace the lines of beauty
But lines are traced and love is glad
To come and go so freely
And here no sin can be confessed
No sinner be forgiven
It's written that the law must rest
Before the law is written
And here the silence is erased
The background all dismantled
Your beauty cannot be compared
No mirror here, no shadow ...
Note the feminine ("almost") rhymes, B!
