O Beauty

O beauty ancient
O beauty fresh
You blazed, you shattered my deafness

You spread your fragrance
I drew in my breath
I touched, I tasted
The sweetness of your rest

Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee

In all danger my eyes have seen
What truth you gave me
The clamour of my being

You spread your fragrance
I drew in my breath
I touched, I tasted
The sweetness of your rest

Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee

Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
Too late have I loved thee
