    In you are sent
    The types of Truths whose life is The To Come;
    In you soars up the Adam from the fall;
    In you the Future as the Past is given--
    Ev'n in our death ye bid us hail our birth;--
    Unfold these pages, and behold the Heaven,
    Without one grave-stone left upon the Earth.
