Table of Contents

Bear the hearse, bear the pall,

We shall fare forward,

We have answered the problem,

We have closed the volume.

In the doubt, in the strife,

We chose the giving,

We have had light for doubt,

We have had our answer.

Doubts of the end of life,

We have been spared them;

We have given the tangled skein

To be cut by the shearers.

Violet scent, flower of broom,

We have foregone them,

We have given the morning,

The gods have accepted,

They have pardoned the reckoning.
