John Albee - Recreation in Love lyrics

That thou art high above me I have found Full oft; when all alone my heavy brain Turns from itself to thee, my thoughts regain A place so far beyond their usual bound I know they climb of other stairs the round Than those which their aspiring flights restrain In this dull house of clay. Come, not in vain Thy height shall raise me from this lifeless ground. Let me from thine my lampless way rewin; Usurp this empty-falling tenement With ruin underset, o'erhung by night; Replenish it with all that once has been, When all it had or wished thy presence lent, And love trimmed fresh the intellectual light.
