And rose, with aching eye and troubled brain,

Thinking how oft my fellow workers here

Have suffered in the flesh for labours wrought

In love to all mankind; and how the world

Cares nought for words which teach not of itself;

For to the world, itself is all in all,

And nought outside it can the world conceive

As real and true. And yet this earth must cease

To be for ever to each mortal, when

The Spirit casts off earth, and, in new life
