Man rising to the doom that shall not err, -- / Which hath most dread: the arouse of all or each; / All kindreds of all nations of all speech, / Or one by one of _him_ and _him_ and _her_? / While dust reanimate begins to stir / Here, there, beyond, beyond, reach beyond reach; / While every wave refashions on the beach / Alive or dead-in-life some seafarer. / Now meeting doth not join or parting part; / True meeting and true parting wait till then, / When whoso meet are joined for evermore, / Face answering face and heart at rest in heart: -- / God bring us all rejoicing to the shore / Of happy Heaven, His sheep home to the pen.
