Here in the Flesh

Add to Starred Hymns

Here in the flesh is all that we can know

Author: John Masefield
Tune: SONG SPRINGS
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Here in the flesh is all that we can know,
all beauty, all wonder, all the power,
all the unearthly colors, all the glow,
here in the self which withers like a flower.

2 Here in the flesh is all that we will find,
swift in the blood and throbbing in the bone,
Beauty herself, the universal mind,
eternal April wandering alone.
