PROLOGUE
5
From the poppys crimson cup,
And the mountains hoary mass ;
Sea and land are filled with song,
God, whom we mistrusted long,
We perceive to be a friend :
Man at last with flower and tree,
Bird and butterfly and bee,
Earth and fire and air and sea,
Will his voice divinely blend
In a song, whose holy incense up to Heaven shall
ascend
And the souls that stand and shiver
On the borders of the River,
Shall their arms extend
Unto Death as to a lover, knowing Death is not
the End.
