WHO placeth Gold Fire on the Pillar so high
And setteth His Sun in the course that is bright?
Who maketh the Chalice of silver to cry
And spinneth the Moon as she watches by night?
What spaces imagined do you travel through life;
Who marries the Groom to the virginal Bride?
What time do you mark with the edge of a knife;
Who presides at the wake when the Living have died?
The answer to each is the answer to all;
Why ask you such questions of Arrow and Bow?
Just ask of your Heart and respond to its call.
The answer's within you;
Be still and Know.

What wonder is wrought by the birth of a child;
Who casteth the matrix of willow and oak?
Who stilleth the waters when they become riled;
Who stands in the void betwixt fire and smoke?
Where hideth this Love so rare as to find;
Who setteth the stars in the Heaven above?
Who shineth the Light to illumine the blind,
and placeth the down on the breast of the Dove?
Who gave to the rainbow each delicate hue
and designeth the flakes of the new-fallen snow?
Who coveres the sky with a mantle of blue?
The answer's within you;
Be still and Know.

Who buildeth the door upon which you must knock;
What is it you seek as though it were lost?
Who keepeth the key to the Gordian lock;
What is it you find when all seas have been crossed?
Who dwells in the North and the South, West and East;
How is it the Light and the Darkness divide?
Who lays out the banquet and asks you to feast;
When will the Lion and the pure Lamb abide?
Of whom do you ask so that you may receive;
What fruits shall you reap from the seeds that you sow?
Who calls you to task if you should not believe?
The answer's within you;
Be still and Know.

What message is spoken with Unicorn's neigh;
Who marks the season's progressions through time?
What musical notes do the snow fairies play,
and who guides the hand of the Old Poet's Rhyme?
How far must you travel to Know of such things
as raindrops and seashells; of sunsets and Queens?
Of what may you Know about paupers and Kings;
of birthing and dying and waking and dreams?
Who buildeth the Temple, the East Gate of Zion,
and causeth Moriah and Zephyr to blow?
Who marketh the place for the Eye of Orion?
The answer's within you;
Just be still . . . and Know.
And setteth His Sun in the course that is bright?
Who maketh the Chalice of silver to cry
And spinneth the Moon as she watches by night?
What spaces imagined do you travel through life;
Who marries the Groom to the virginal Bride?
What time do you mark with the edge of a knife;
Who presides at the wake when the Living have died?
