O Flames of Passion, will ye never die
That trampled into dust anon revive
And wrap my heart in fire and stream on high!
O rebel flames, die down and ye shall live
Ay, ye shall burn more bravely than of old
Fed by the fuel of love's self-control
Burn till your fiercer heat seems pale and cold
Burn in the furnace of love's inmost soul
Ay, ye shall burn, when Love has quenched your fire
Burn on for aye, triumphant in your death
For, as your tempest-driven waves expire
They wake again, lit by love's purest breath
Wake to new life, though lost to mortal sight
In love's white flame, in love's transcendent light
Written by: Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
