Refrain: How well I know this fountain. It flows and abounds with Grace. Though it is night. Verses: 1. Of its source I know not, because it has none. Yet well I know all sources flow from its vale. Though it is night. 2. I know of no thing of such beauty. Yet all heaven and earth drink from its vale. Though it is night. 3. No creature exists to darken its radiant purity. I know that all light forms and begins in its vale. Though it is night. 4. Yet is this fountain hidden in The Living Flesh. I know it is the Highest Good that we share. Though it is night.
