Lighting the green wood with its sunny smile.html">smile.
Fear not then, Spirit, death's disrobing hand.html">hand,
So welcome when the bigot's hell-torch flares;
The transient gulf-dream of a startling sleep.
But what is thine may never cease to be;
Love's brightest roses on the scaffold bloom, 565
And presaging the truth of visioned bliss.
Of linked and gradual being has confirmed?
Of mind as radiant and as pure as thou.html">thou.html">thou,
Surpassing Spirit, to that world.html">world, where thou
With tyranny and falsehood, and uproot 575
Thine is the hand whose piety would soothe
Whose impotence an easy pardon gains,
Thine is the brow whose mildness would defy
When fenced by power and master of the world.
Free from heart-withering custom's cold control, 585
Earth's pride and meanness could not vanquish thee,
Which thou hast now received: virtue shall keep
And many days of beaming hope shall bless
Go, happy one, and give that bosom joy
Light, life and rapture from thy smile. 595
The Daemon called its winged ministers.
That rolled beside the crystal battlement,
The burning wheels inflame 600
Fast and far the chariot.html">chariot flew:
Around the gate of the Eternal Fane
Such tiny twinklers as the planet orbs
With borrowed light.html">light pursued their narrower way.
The chariot paused a moment; 610
And from the earth departing
Speeded like thought upon the light of Heaven.
The Body and the Soul united then, 615
