Evening Songs


LIX

I bade the trumpets to be blown
For glorious resurrection;
I shall in final judgment sit—
Ye shall hear your fates’ lection.

Ye who have been opposed to love
And have against it spoken:
Ye shall despair for all the time,
And your hearts shall be broken.

But ye who always have kept faith
And treated love with favor:
Ye come and gather on my right
And live in love forever.

To you in heaven special place
And special bliss be given,
For, having loved upon the earth,
You had the taste of heaven.
