All anguish of the dying and the dead;
With all your wounds I shall have ached and bled,
Waked, thirsted, starved, been fevered, gasped for breath,
Felt the death dew;

Leaped, and broke it all asunder;
Streamed the sunshine through the crevice,
Sprang the beavers through the doorway,
Hid

In the channel of the streamlet;
But the mighty Pau-Puk-Keewis
Could not pass beneath the doorway;

Beyond this passage of the gate of death,
I charge you at the Judgment make it plain
My love of you was life and not a breath.

circling
beneath heaven's veil,
In devotion, round your tombs, I hail
You, with loud summons; thrice on you I call:
And, while your ancient fury I invoke,
Here, as though I in sacred terror spoke,
I'll sing your glory, beauteous above all.

And some mouths spat at me and cried `thou fool',
And some, `thou liest', and some, `he dreams': and then
Some hands
uplifted
certain bowls they bore
To lips that writhed but drank with eagerness.

of the day of happinesses in the air
To live the taste of colours easily
To enjoy loves so as to laugh
To open eyes at the final moment
She has every willingness.
