All before us lies the way ;
Give the past unto the wind.
All before us is the day ;
Night and darkness are behind.
In the spirit's perfect air,
In the passions deep and kind,
In the life that has no care
The true Eden shall we find.
When the soul to sin hath died,
True and beautiful and sound,
Then all earth is sanctified,
Up springs Paradise around.
From this spirit-land, afar,
All disturbing force shall flee ;
Stir, nor toil, nor hope shall mar
Its immortal unity.
