DOLORES.

195

We shall know what the darkness discovers,
⁠If the grave-pit be shallow or deep;
And our fathers of old, and our lovers,
⁠We shall know if they sleep not or sleep.
We shall see whether hell be not heaven,
⁠Find out whether tares be not grain,
And the joys of thee seventy times seven,
⁠Our Lady of Pain.
