Chains the swift soul; for even Death is bound.

In its apparent amplitude I saw,

I, who have slept through death, have surely found

The old accurséd law,

And death has changed to life. This task alone

Shoots to the starry throne:

That if man lack not purpose, but succeed,

Reaching in very deed

Impersonal existence;—Lo!

Man is made one with God, an equal soul.
