Lo Spirito Santo (verse)
Powers, Jessica
Lo Spirito Santo The Spirit of God Is wind and water, Fire and a bird. Substance and sod And earth and matter Have formed one word. For who has looked On a fire blowing Who has not seen Banners...
...So beauty's bird Wind-wisdom seeking And sorrow's flood And love's flame stirred Are one voice speaking A word called God, For fire a word, With light its daughter And their golden breath Name for a bird And wind and water That have no death...
...Jessica Powers...
...And who has stood Near a sea burning Under the blind Sun's eye and could By no thought's turning Look on fire Or a wind racing Or a bird thrown Higher and higher Toward rocks facing The sea, toward stone...
...For who has looked On a fire blowing Who has not seen Banners erect And waves going And a bird lean On a shoulder of wind...
