This World is not Conclusion.
 A Species stands beyond -- 
Invisible, as Music -- 
But positive, as Sound --
 It beckons, and it baffles -- 
Philosophy -- don't know -- 
And through a Riddle, at the last -- 
Sagacity, must go -- 
To guess it, puzzles scholars -- 
To gain it, 
Men have borne 
Contempt of Generations 
And Crucifixion, shown -- 
Faith slips -- and laughs, and rallies -- 
Blushes, if any see -- 
Plucks at a twig of Evidence -- 
And asks a Vane, the way -- 
Much Gesture, from the Pulpit -- 
Strong Hallelujahs roll --
 Narcotics cannot still the Tooth 
That nibbles at the soul --
