Lyrics

LOVE’S ETERNAL WINE
Rumi ~ translated by Andrew Harvey
from ‘Light Upon Light’


Those tender words
we said to one another
Are stored in the secret heart of heaven.
One day, like the rain
they will fall and spread
And their mystery
will grow green over the world

Rumi’s Mathnawi ~ translated by Andrew Harvey
from ‘Teachings of Rumi’

The wine of Divine Grace is limitless:
All limitations
come only from the faults of the cup.
Moonlight floods the whole sky
from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room
depends on its windows.
Grant a great dignity, my friend,
to the cup of your life.
Love has designed it
to hold Love’s eternal wine
