Light from his locks, and all the way Breathing perfumes, doth spice the day. 2. Awake! awake! hark how th' wood rings, Winds whisper, and the busy springs A concert make. Awake! Awake! Man is their high priest, and should rise To offer up the sacrifice. 3. I would I were some bird, or star, Fluttering in woods, or lifted far Above this inn And road of sin; Then either star or bird should be Shining or singing still to Thee. 4. I would I had in my best part Fit rooms for Thee! or that my heart Were so clean as Thy manger was! But I am all filth, and obscene; Yet, if Thou wilt, Thou can'st make me clean. 5. Sweet Jesu! and then. Let no more This leper haunt and soil Thy door! Cure him, ease him, O release him! And let once more, by mystic birth, The Lord of life be born on earth.
