  A                      E
Why do you stand by the window

  D                       A
Abandoned to beauty and pride

      A                         E
The thorn of the night in your bosern

      D                      A
The spear of the age in you side

 A                     E
Lost in the rages of fragrance

 D                     A
Lost in the rags of remorse

 A                      E
Lost in the waves of a sickness

      D                       A
That loosens the high silver nerves

    E
O chosen love, O frozen love

   D                     A
O tangle of matter and ghost

   E
O darling of angels, demons and saints

          D                   A
And the whole broken-hearted host

 A           E
Gentle this soul

          A                           E
And come forth from your cloud of unknowing

D                      A
kiss the cheek of the moon

     A              E
The new Jerusalem glowing

     D                       A
Why tarry all night in this ruin

     A                   E
And leave no word of discomfort

    D                    A
Or leave no observer to mourn

      A                         E
But climb on your tears and be silent

          D                      A
Like the rose on its ladder of thorn

    E
O chosen love, O frozen love

   D                     A
O tangle of matter and ghost

   E
O darling of angels, demons and saints

          D                   A
And the whole broken-hearted host

 A           E
Gentle this soul

      A                    E
Then lay your rose on the fire

     D                   A
The fire give up to the sun

     A                  E
The sun give over to splendor

       D                     A
In the arms of the High Holy One

         A                    E
For The Holy One dreams of a letter

         D                   A
And he Dreams of a letter's death

     A                    E
Oh bless the continuous stutter

        D                     A
Of the word being made into flesh

    E
O chosen love, O frozen love

   D                     A
O tangle of matter and ghost

   E
O darling of angels, demons and saints

          D                   A
And the whole broken-hearted host

 A           E
Gentle this soul

D            A
Gentle this soul
