Those whom the light did blind rose angrily;

They bore his body to a mountain height

And nailed it to a tree; then went their way,

And he resisted not nor said them nay,

Because that he had seen God face to face.

There was a man who saw Life face to face;

And ever as he walked from day to day,

The deathless mystery of being lay

Plain as the path he trod in loneliness;

And each deep-hid inscription could he trace;
