The word ‘compulsion’ spurs my heart ahead
While those who lack love feel ensnared instead,
It’s not compulsion but divine communion,
Not clouds, but the full moon in total union;
If it’s compulsion it’s a special kind,
Not that commanding self’s type which is blind:
Compulsion like this few identify,
God’s given these men’s hearts an inner eye—
Hidden things and the future they can see,
Mention the past near them is blasphemy!
