The unutterable craving for my soul:
Thy love of me sufficed

To Him, Whose Cup did overflow
With mine unutterable woe."

Ring in the unutterable eternal prime.

Unutterable in even the happiest sigh;

Lest its white peace in the black flame turn to tinder
And an unutterable cinder.”

Stammering of lights unutterable?

Feels the keen pang, th' unutterable distress.
Yet wherefore grieve I that her sorrows cease,
