Envoi
Beloved, when my heart's awake to God And all the world becomes His testimony, In you I most do see, in your brave spirit, Erect and certain, flashing deeds of light, A pure jet from the fountain of all being, A scripture clearer than all else to read. And when belief was dead and God a myth, And the world seemed a wandering mote of evil, Endurable only by its impermanence, And all the planets perishable urns Of perished ashes, to you alone I clung Amid the unspeakable loneliness of the universe.
