Author Description

Excerpt from Broken Music: Selected Verse Thou that in the deepness of the night Beholdest me; Captain of Kings, invisible and dight With mystery: Thou that are death, and ridest on a sword; Thou that art love, upon a cross adored; Thou that art life, and life eternal, Lord, I kneel to thee. I am as yonder taper on thy shrine, Late-lit and tall; My spirit bows with every breath that thine Here letteth fall: The ickering world is witched and turned trolled; And oh, my heart is wax, that once was bold; I perish straightway save that thou uphold; Thou that art all.
