Frankincense and Myrrh

（单词翻译:单击）

My heart is tuned1 to sorrow, and the strings
Vibrate most readily to minor2 chords,
Searching and sad; my mind is stuffed with words
Which voice the passion and the ache of things:
Illusions beating with their baffled wings
Against the walls of circumstance, and hoards
Of torn desires, broken joys; records
Of all a bruised3 life's maimed imaginings.
Now you are come!  You tremble like a star
Poised where, behind earth's rim4, the sun has set.
Your voice has sung across my heart, but numb
And mute, I have no tones to answer.  Far
Within I kneel before you, speechless yet,
And life ablaze5 with beauty, I am dumb.
