 When fiesh1y senses faint and fail, That they above the stars are flying,
 That heaven lies just beyond the veil. But ah the beatific vision

 But to the waiting rooms of death. Yet then the light of all the righteous
 Dawns gently on their spirit eyes, They, rapt with sleep and revelation,
 Float in the air of Paradise. Not even death, nor any power,
