A poem by Violet Nicolson, Lawrence Hope, Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (1865 – 1904)


You are my God, and I would fain adore You

With sweet and secret rites of other days.

Burn scented oil in silver lamps before You,

Pour perfume on Your feet with prayer and praise.

Yet are we one; Your gracious condescension

Granted, and grants, the loveliness I crave.

One, in the perfect sense of Eastern mention,

“Gold and the Bracelet, Water and the Wave.”
