"A Figurative Description of the Procedure of Divine Love"
This is a poem by Madame Guyon. Oswald Chambers quoted it in a book of his I was reading. Madame Guyon was considered a heretic by many, though Chambers says she comes dangerously close.

It is called "A Figurative Description of the Procedure of Divine Love" and is on pages 11-12 of the pdf.
