Stanzas - 33
Yes, could I wish for others or myself:
It were, that, pierced the veil 'twixt thee and me;
My God, I, sacrificing earthly pelf,
Might view, as the supreme reality,
Thee, and the world of spirits. Who that's free
Would wish to be imprison'd? Who that could
Carry his thoughts to all eternity,
In glad progression, forward, would be mewed
In seventy years brief space of ailing flesh and blood?
