This life, which I have dared invoke,
Henceforth is parallel with thine.
“A silent awe is in my room;
I tremble with delicious fear;
The future with its light and gloom,—
Time and Eternity are here.
“Doubts—hopes, in eager tumult rise;
Hear, O my God! one earnest prayer:
Room for my bird in Paradise,
And give her angel-plumage there!”
