Heaven will bloom like one great flower for you,

Flash and loom greatly, all your marts among?”

Friends I will not cease hoping, though you weep.

Such things I see, and some of them shall come

Though now our streets are harsh and ashen-grey,

Though now our youths are strident, or are dumb.

Friends, that sweet town, that wonder-town shall rise.

Naught can delay it. Though it may not be

Just as I dream, it comes at last, I know

With streets like channels of an incense-sea!
