Well painted well gargoyled with multiple floors
 Two windows let free this projector machine
 and the magical world here appears on the screen
 My servants attend me with tricks of the senses
 The past and the future and similar tenses
 and on platters of air they convey me my measure
 both gladness and sorrow, I lack not for treasure

 The lord and his lady are seated within
 In the court of the mind where the song does begin
 The song is as fine is as fine is as follows
 The song does continue through measureless hollows
 that sink from the level of personal being
 through caverns of darkness where dragons
 are dwelling

 The mountains above them are raised at my calling
 Where the apples are ripe or the rain is a-falling

 In ships of white vision I sail the horizon
 where three spinners stand beyond the
 horizon under the tree of the apples of beauty
 I watch them arranging my days and tomorrows
 The song is as fine is as fine as it follows

 I stood on the beach where the moon was a-curling
 Laughed on the wings of the sea birds calling
 I loved when sweet Venus a lover did bring me
 I cried when sweet Saturn and Jupiter moved us
 and all of my servants were fighting their brothers
 And the lord and the lady they hated each other
 Till the spinners arose with their work on their fingers
 Commanding the presence of Heavenly singers
 That spoke of the silence so soon to be coming
 When all would be still in the wonderful palace
 The peace is not stillness but peacefully changing
 This hope is the hope of the man on the gallows
 The song is as fine is as fine is as follows

 The infant I was in the womb of my mother
 White sperm I was in the loins of my father
 Before that I swam in the oceans of nowhere
 Where the fish are as fine as the colour of colours
 Where waves are the message of centuries rolling
 Where wind is the breath of the Holy Creator
 Where no ship sails but only the ocean
 Where all the rivers grow mighty with showing
 And crowned with the gifts of the myriad valleys
 Return with a sigh to the sea of the coming
 Forever and ever and ever and ever be glad O be
 Glad for the song has no ending
