The man who cannot hear with perfect faith
The tale of spirit and of spirit-worlds,—
Is nowise lacking in the faculties
To grasp a revelation of this kind.
The things he lacks are of a different mould.
He may well guess, unwilling to admit,
That he is conscious of unworthiness
To be a member of the higher worlds.
A soul must be defiled by secret stain
And eager to deny that they are there,
