LXIY

My eyes were plunged in midnight,my mouth was lapped in lead,my brain and heart were frozen,and I, my love, was dead.

How long I had been sleepingI know not, when I woketo feel a gentle knocking,

and hear a voice that spoke :

Will you not rise up, Heinrich ?For it is Judgment Day.

The dead by this are flighting,and heaven on the way.”
