    REVELATION

    No more my heart shall sob or grieve.
    My days and nights dissolve in God's own Light.
    Above the toil of life my soul
    Is a Bird of Fire winging the Infinite.

    I have known the One and His Secret Play;
    And passed beyond the sea of Ignorance-Dream,
    In tune with Him, I sport and sing,
    I own the golden Eye of the Supreme

    Drunk deep of Immortality,
    I am the root and boughs of a teeming vast.
    My Form I have known, and realised,
    The Supreme and I are one-all we outlast.
