The Interpreter poem – Aleister Crowley poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Alistar Crowley (1875-1947)

Mother of Light, and the Gods! Mother of Music, awake!

Silence and speech are at odds; Heaven and Hell are at

stake.

By the Rose and the Cross I conjure; I constrain by the

Snake and the Sword;

I am he that is sworn to endure -Bring us the word of the

Lord!

By the brood of the Bysses of Brightening, whose God was

my sire;

By the Lord of the Flame and Lightning, the King of

the Spirits of Fire;

By the Lord of the Waves and the Waters, the King of the

Hosts of the Sea,

The fairest of all of whose daughters was mother to me;

By the Lord of the Winds and the Breezes, the king of the

Spirits of Air,

In whose bosom the infinite ease is that cradled me there;

By the Lord of the Fields and the Mountains, the King of

the Spirits of Earth

That nurtured my life at his fountains from the hour of my

birth;

By the Wand and the Cup I conjure; by the Dagger and

Disk I constrain;

I am he that is sworn to endure; make thy music again!

I am Lord of the Star and the Seal; I am Lord of the Snake

and the Sword;

Reveal us the riddle, reveal! Bring us the word of the Lord!

As the flame of the sun, as the roar of the sea, as the storm

of the air,

As the quake of the earth -let it soar for a boon, for a bane,

for a snare,

For a lure, for a light, for a kiss, for a rod, for a scourge, for

a sword –

Bring us thy burden of bliss -Bring us the word of the

Lord!

PERDURABO.
