When I went looking for a lamb that went astray,

I wandered as a sheep might do 

To see if I could find the way

That it had gone.

And in the cool morning,

I came upon a holy place,

Where maybe dawn had settled 

In the night to rest her head

Before she rose, to light the East

And greet the early birds

From their fresh beds.

The grass was lush and sallow,

Large trees grew round to shade,

And in a spot where deer had wallowed,

I made a pillow and laid down

In the fragrant air.

And where are you, My Lover?

Will you come tonight and meet me,

Here, with only the night

To cover us?

Will you fill me with Divine Light

As only you can do?

So that by loving one another

We can know our true selves better.

We can begin to see 

Love-light dawning in our souls,

From me loving you 

You loving me.
