lyrics

ELEVATION
(C. Baudelaire)
Above the lake
in the valley
and the grove
along the hillside,
high over the sea

and the passing clouds,
and even past the sun!

to the farthest confines
of the starry vault

mount,my spirit,
wander at you ease

and range exultant
through transparent space

like a rugged swimmer
revelling in the waves

with an unutter male delight.
Ascend beyond the sickly atmosphere

to a higher plane
and purify yourself
by drinking
as if it were
ambrosia
the fire that
fills and fuels Emptiness.

Free from the futile
strivings and the cares

which dim existence
to a realm of mist
free is he
who wings
an upward way

on mighty pinions
to the fields of light

whose thoughts
like rising larks
into the morning sky

whose flight
unchecked
outreaches life
and comprehends
the language of flowers
and of all mute things

Ascend beyond
to a higher plane
purify
drinking
the fire
that fills and fuels
Emptiness

Free from the
strivings and the cares
which dim existence
to a realm of mist
free is he
who wings an upward way
on mighty pinions
to the fields of light
