He call'd her with a mighty cry: —
" Come forth! I need thee, eye to eye! "
Then all of mortal life she set
Aside thereat and, featly, came —
A virgin soul of purest flame:
Their deep eyes met.

From out her house of flesh came she;
He stood, a spirit grandly free
From mortal veil and bond,
They left their bodies side by side —
The blessed bridegroom and the bride —
And soar'd beyond.

The paths of light their presence own
And zones beyond the starry zone;
A light outshining suns for them
Is granted as a diadem;
And, where no mortal steps have trod,
They follow the high quest of God.
