Where Thou art -- that -- is Home --

Where Thou art -- that -- is Home --

Cashmere -- or Calvary -- the same --

Degree -- or Shame --

I scarce esteem Location's Name --

So I may Come --


What Thou dost -- is Delight --

Bondage as Play -- be sweet --

Imprisonment -- Content --

And Sentence -- Sacrament --

Just We two -- meet --


Where Thou art not -- is Woe --

Tho' Bands of Spices -- row --

What Thou dost not -- Despair --

Tho' Gabriel -- praise me -- Sire --
