Voices from Beyond (repeat).
“Enraptured through and through,
In God’s most holy sight.”
(The Sacred Figure dims and slowly fades. With it disappears the stalk of annunciation lilies. The light returns softly upon the celestial scenery.)
(The Sacred Figure vanishes.)
(The Man, the Woman, and Child stay gazing after it.)
(Now a mist breathes upon the Heavenly City and the sunny country. All the outlines of the happy scenery blur and faint.)
(The groups of spirits grow dim.)
(Distant music softly sustains the strains of the song; but without words.)
(And now the golden mist slowly envelops the Man, the Woman, and the Child, who remain for a moment before the eyes—a vision—solemn, tender, and half unreal.)
(The music continues very faintly. The strain slowly ceases.)
