Mother of the Sun, Whose Body is White with the Milk of the
Stars, bend upon Thy servant and impart unto him Thy Secret Kiss!
Enkindle within him the Holy Ecstasy Thou hast promised unto
them that love Thee; the Ecstasy which redeemeth from all pain.
Hast thou not proclaimed: All the sorrows are but shadows, they
pass and are done, but there is that which remains? That the Uni-
verse is Pure Joy – that Thou givest unimaginable Joys on Earth –
that Thou demandest naught in sacrifice?
Let me then rejoice, for therein may I serve Thee most fully. Let it
be Thy Joy to see my joy; even as Thou hast promised in Thy Holy Book!
Now, therefore, am I Joyful in Thy Love.
