Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close, - <br />Bride of the Fire! <br />I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose, <br />I have slain desire. <br /> <br />Beauty of the Light, surround my life, - <br />Beauty of the Light! <br />I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief, <br />I can bear thy delight. <br /> <br />Image of Ecstasy, thrill and enlace, - <br />Image of Bliss! <br />I would see only thy marvellous face, <br />Feel only thy kiss. <br /> <br />Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart, - <br />Call of the One! <br />Stamp there thy radiance, never to part, <br />O living sun.<br /><br />Sri Aurobindo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bride-of-the-fire/
