I have gone sometimes by the gates of Death	A
And stood beside the cavern through whose doors	B
Enter the voyagers into the unseen	C
From that dread threshold only gazing back	D
Have eyes in swift illumination seen	C
Life utterly revealed and guessed therein	E
What things were vital and what things were vain	F
Know then like a vast ocean from my feet	G
Spreading away into the morning sky	H
I saw unrolled my vanished days and lo	I
Oblivion like a morning mist obscured	J
Toils trials ambitions agitations ease	K
And like green isles sun kissed with sweet perfume	L
Loading the airs blown back from that dim gulf	M
Gleamed only through the all involving haze	N
The hours when we have loved and been beloved	O
	-
Therefore sweet friends as often as by Love	P
You rise absorbed into the harmony	Q
Of planets singing round magnetic suns	R
Let not propriety nor prejudice	S
Nor the precepts of jealous age deny	H
What Sense so incontestably affirms	T
Cling to the blessed moment and drink deep	U
Of the sweet cup it tends as there alone	V
Were that which makes life worth the pain to live	W
What is so fair as lovers in their joy	X
That dies in sleep their sleep that wakes in joy	X
Caressing arms are their light pillows They	Y
That like lost stars have wandered hitherto	Z
Lonesome and lightless through the universe	A2
Now glow transfired at Nature's flaming core	B2
They are the centre constellated heaven	C2
Is the embroidered panoply spread round	D2
Their bridal and the music of the spheres	E2
Rocks them in hushed epithalamium	L
	-
	-
	-
I know that there are those whose idle tongues	F2
Blaspheme the beauty of the world that was	G2
So wondrous and so worshipful to me	L
I call them those that in the palace where	H2
Down perfumed halls the Sleeping Beauty lay	Y
Wandered without the secret or the key	L
I know that there are those of gentler heart	I2
Broken by grief or by deception bowed	J2
Who in some realm beyond the grave conceive	K2
The bliss they found not here but as for me	L
In the soft fibres of the tender flesh	L2
I saw potentialities of Joy	X
Ten thousand lifetimes could not use Dear Earth	M2
In this dark month when deep as morning dew	Z
On thy maternal breast shall fall the blood	N2
Of those that were thy loveliest and thy best	O2
If it be fate that mine shall mix with theirs	P2
Hear this my natural prayer for purified	Q2
By that Lethean agony and clad	R2
In more resplendent powers I ask nought else	S2
Than reincarnate to retrace my path	T2
Be born again of woman walk once more	B2
Through Childhood's fragrant flowery wonderland	U2
And entered in the golden realm of Youth	V2
Fare still a pilgrim toward the copious joys	W2
I savored here yet scarce began to sip	X2
Yea with the comrades that I loved so well	Y2
Resume the banquet we had scarce begun	C2
When in the street we heard the clarion call	Z2
And each man sprang to arms ay even myself	A3
Who loved sweet Youth too truly not to share	H2
Its pain no less than its delight If prayers	P2
Are to be prayed lo here is mine Be this	S
My resurrection this my recompense	B3
