-------------(part 1 and 2 : Am, G, C then F, C, G, Am)---------------
AmBelovGed, gaCze in thine own heart
The Fholy CtreGe is Amgrowing there
>From Amjoy tGhe holCy branches start
And Fall the trCembling Gflowers Amthey bear
AmThe changing GcoClors of its fruit
Have Fdowered CthGe Amstars with merry light
The AmsuretGy of Cits hidden root
FHas planCteGd quAmiet in the night
----------(part 2 only : F, C, G, Am)-----------------------------------
The FshaCking of Gits leAmafy head
Has Fgiven Cthe wavGes theAmir melody
And Fmade my Clips aGnd musAmic wed
MurFmurCing Ga wizard Amsong for thee
(part 1 and 2)
There the Loves a circle go
The flaming circle of our days
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways
(part 2 only)
Remembering all that stroken hair
And how the wingled sandal dart
Thine eye grow full of tender cares
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
(part 1 and 2)
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons with their subbtle guile
Lift up before us when they pass
Or only gaze a little while
(part 2 only)
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives
Roots half hidden under snows
Broken boughs and blackened leaves
(part 1 and 2)
For all things turns to bareness
In the dim glass the demon hold
The glass of outer weariness
Made when God slept in time of old
(part 2 only)
There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unrestiung thought
Flying, crying, to and fro
Cruel claws and hungry throat
Or else they stand and sniff the wind
And shake their ragged wings : alas !
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
(part 1 and 2)
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there
>From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear
(part 2 only)
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandal care
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

-------------(part 1 and 2 : Am, G, C then F, C, G, Am)---------------

Am G C

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

F C G Am

The holy tree is growing there

Am G C

>From joy the holy branches start

F C G Am

And all the trembling flowers they bear

Am G C

The changing colors of its fruit

F C G Am

Have dowered the stars with merry light

Am G C

The surety of its hidden root

F C G Am

Has planted quiet in the night

----------(part 2 only : F, C, G, Am)-----------------------------------

F C G Am

The shaking of its leafy head

F C G Am

Has given the waves their melody

F C G Am

And made my lips and music wed

F C G Am

Murmuring a wizard song for thee

(part 1 and 2)

There the Loves a circle go

The flaming circle of our days

Gyring, spiring to and fro

In those great ignorant leafy ways

(part 2 only)

Remembering all that stroken hair

And how the wingled sandal dart

Thine eye grow full of tender cares

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

(part 1 and 2)

Gaze no more in the bitter glass

The demons with their subbtle guile

Lift up before us when they pass

Or only gaze a little while

(part 2 only)

For there a fatal image grows

That the stormy night receives

Roots half hidden under snows

Broken boughs and blackened leaves

(part 1 and 2)

For all things turns to bareness

In the dim glass the demon hold

The glass of outer weariness

Made when God slept in time of old

(part 2 only)

There, through the broken branches, go

The ravens of unrestiung thought

Flying, crying, to and fro

Cruel claws and hungry throat

Or else they stand and sniff the wind

And shake their ragged wings : alas !

Thy tender eyes grow all unkind

Gaze no more in the bitter glass

(part 1 and 2)

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

The holy tree is growing there

>From joy the holy branches start

And all the trembling flowers they bear

(part 2 only)

Remembering all that shaken hair

And how the winged sandal care

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
