And what was she that you remember, staring
Down through the pale grass, what was she?
And what is this that grows in an old garden?
Listen, I will interpret to you. Look, now,
I will discover you a thing hidden,
A secret thing. Come, I will conduct you
By seven doors into a closed tomb.
I will show you the mystery of mysteries.
I will show you the body of the dead god bringing forth
The corn. I will show you the reaped ear
Sprouting.
Are you contented? Are you answered?
Come.
I will show you chestnut branches budding
