Herbert Price - Dante to Beatrice lyrics

Ah God, the gulf between us is too dark! Too deep, and dark, and terrible to cross; If either now should launch a venturing bark, The surging breakers would a**ail, and toss And rend it into pieces; it would fare On these fell waters that between us scream And fling fierce arms of hatred through the air, Like some frail atom in a demon's dream; Yea, it would perish and go down to doom In ravenous swirls of chaos, like a dove Caught in mid riot of the crash and boom Of fire and rain and thunder. From above There where thou livest in pure light divine Smile and again this whole dark earth will shine.
