Beyond this place,
someday
that unfulfilled longing
will be satisfied
that sadness
which underlies even joy
in that place of
everlasting dawn,
where every tear will vanish,
where joy unspeakable
dwells forevermore,
all burdens lifted,
winter, drear and chilling,
turned to eternal spring
that realm of light,
of light upon light,
where worn out bodies
are replaced
in resurrection glory!
